Elizabeth Smith Poet Couplet

The Swarm

There's an entity called "The Human Swarm"
It's presently 8 billion strong
Steam rolling anything in its way
Animals are most often made to pay
Inflated sense of entitlement a force driving 
mindless acts
Lives of animals not equal is taken as fact
A planet denuded of flora and fauna will 
become 
Another barren rock orbiting the sun
