Species check starting with the tigers

Caring about all species apparently
would seem
to have dropped now in importance
but some I think, do dream
about the earthlings
and their plight
but the greatest number say
its people that are important, animals
have had their day

its a doctrine some oppose of course
for the voiceless have such pain
especially those having to face the people
and the terrain
is up for grabs continually
habitat loss is one
of the most serious issues for commerce
till everythings undone
she does toss
a lot of complications into
the wood pile
and the voiceless get a rotten deal
and its hard to reconcile

Take Tigers for example William Blake
did write
about our friend the Tiger
in the forest shining bright
he still shines but the forests
are being torn away
by the corporate claim on oil palm
or on Timber and to say

the environments are startled
by the continual loss
it would be an under statement for the animal
earthlings toss
everything into the
ever crushing blow
is causing terrible hardship
up and down and below

Arborial apes are being hit Tigers Elephants
Rhino’s
Koala’s in Australia on blue gum and we do
realise that wood chip and paper for Japan
is inflicting terrible losses
for Koala’s now who can
see the wood torn down and cut
but cannot see the trees
no trees no leaves
no leaves no hope
and now we’re losing Bees

man un kind is culpable
he’s showing his poor hand
delving into Nature
when he doesn’t understand
the importance of believing
and knowing what is bright
that this planet is a shared one
only then does it feel right

this corporation claptrap
this vile destructive urge
is taking us all screaming almost
to the verge
of destruction as our animal friends are
slaughtered in their prime
everyone is suffering
the vagaries of time

losses are reported right across the board
Poaching, Hunting, Trapping
no one can afford
Seal’s Dolphin’s Orca’s, Whales
all feeling so unwell
Tigers, Lions, and Elephants
we hear the same death knell
Sharks, Bison Wolves and Foxes
Badgers, Minks and Strays
are going through the mangle
in many different ways
Suffering and torture
is on the rise too
we
see processes commercial
inspired that sicken me

fur is one, all animals
subjected to such pain
being stripped of skin whilst
still alive
i’t s so insane
Leather from the Cattle, pigs, Seals
sadly they
are suffering
enormous pain each day
no animal is sacrosanct
all of them sadly
get a dose of human and
suffer constantly
feeling towards animals
has diminished it would seem
as the world is getting smaller
we face a constant stream
of abuse and death
by torture
of commercials disengaged
of behaviour fit
for Hell in fact
the numbers
have enraged
the activists, Animal Liberation
and all the boys
ready to fights and
try to draw the population
round again to what it was before
being kind to animals giving them
the space
making them part of our lives
and then the human race
will prosper at the moment its
the opposite and, we
are sliding rapidly
into the abyss
unfortumnately
