WORLD WILDLIFE

World wildlife that we see today
Will not always remain,
We will not see God's dolphins play
With oceans on the wane...
The whales exist for now at least,
For they prove big and strong
And though they roam from west to east,
I wonder for how long...

Like tigers that can roar aloud,
Defiant to the end,
The elephants stand tall and proud,
On that you can depend...
Consider the end of the age,
For something's got to give,
But of Mankind, who shouts with rage,
As this world fights to live?

The birds of Paradise still fly,
Macaws and vultures, too,
The owls can soar across the sky
Just like the eagles do...
The humming birds and peacocks share
Contentment day by day,
Yet polar bears and penguins stare
At ice that melts away...
