Butterflies

                                                                  

Carbon-dioxide emissions, herbicides, pesticides,

Ozone-eroding chlorofluorocarbons, deforestations

Are systematically accelerating the heating up of Earth,

 

Exterminating species, left and right,

In what's become the fires inside a Topf & Sons oven,

The most fragile and beautiful being the monarch butterfly,

 

Which lays its eggs only on leaves of the milkweed,

A plant highly susceptible to agricultural poisons

Used to eradicate weeds, not genetically-engineered seeds.

 

We've seen, before, what happens when people, societies

Ignore depredations, eliminations, disappearances,

Pretend the benefits outweigh the consequences.
