Extirpation
To every species we should relate
And know they are alive
‘tis true of snails and of skates
And animals of every size
Nature has selected them
To survive another day
In the game of life they are a win
And we celebrate their ways
Other ones grow extinct
Due to natural causes
It is a fact of life some think
And an interesting problem
Some fail due to the ways of man
With their habitat destroyed
It is here that most demand
A change in ways employed
Extirpation is the word
I sadly learned one day
It’s man’s extinction of a local one
to live another place

We may be the only species capable of self-inflicted extinction. Interesting thoughts and interesting poem, WC!
Thanks Louis! For every creature there is a season.
