WILDLIFE SUFFERS
~~~~~~~~~~~~
clearing woodland! really?
makes me feel so teary.
right now my eyes, bleary,
wildlife suffers
once, all mankind, hunters,
nothing left, no grunters!
human beings, shunters!
bald land coiffures
for sustenance, gathered
no land back then, shattered
now the land is battered
us all duffers
much wildlife now extinct
i can't be more succinct
nature won't be hoodwinked
she has buffers
pollution is hurting!
in denial, skirting!
mass extinction, flirting!
closing shutters

You guys in the USA, do you really pronounce really as re al ly, or real ly?
