Moth by moth, butterfly by butterfly
Consumed by flames of Mother Nature denoting follies of her imbecile offspring.
Tiger by tiger, dolphin by dolphin
Poached without mercy and decimated by harpoons.
Bark by bark and root by root
Sacrificed at the altar of excavators and capitalist cycles of trade.
Hill after hill and lake after lake
Dug to depths of hell and polluted to perdition.
A dejected Planet begs salvation.

Unfortunately, not!
Hopefully one day we’ll come to its rescue.
Hope springs eternal!
