The Bricks Atop Rest On The Rest. Poem by Rm. Shanmugam Chettiar

The large scale of extinction of species
Is the result of biological annihilation.
The shrinkage of bio diversities
Is due to human's extending actions.
Ninety-nine percent of total vertebrates
Were the wild species 3000 years back.
Ninety-nine percent of total vertebrates
Are human and his animal stock now.

The future of the wild species is bleak.
One fourth of animals and plants face threats,
Of which many species go out this decade.
It means the earth will lose a million species.
Tigers and peacocks may rise in number.
What about other species in danger?
Green cover to grow; turn vegetarian.
Curb population; guard ecology.
