Some don't see the beauty we lose of earth <br />the mother when they go choose to <br />burn the forests, extinguish fine creatures; <br />raiding the world of all her perfect creatures. The jaguar is a cunning a creature- <br />fast and smart in every feature. <br />But the single data important to these cats <br />aren't in the minds of those who treat them like rats. The dolphin is a delight to see - splashing around <br />so playfully. Though when will <br />tuna manufacturers ever face the fact, <br />they're also following the dolphin's track. Reptiles, too, with their patterns of scales, <br />are daily skinned from their head to their tail <br />Beautiful tesselations are their main shield, <br />and that's what always happens to get peeled. The hellish slaughter of nature's kids, <br />sold off to people like those with bids. <br />This mistreatment occurs on earth you know- <br />the earth who gave birth to us, too.<br /><br />Christine Cheesman Trajano<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/why-are-we-doing-this-2/
