The Last Leg Of The Siberian Crane? Poem by Mark Heathcote

Rapidly, reaching, eradication
due to wetland, development, projects
sadly, there's a dwindling population
of the Siberian crane, the onsets
the likes of which may-never-be reversed
they winter on or near Poyang Lake, China.
Their remaining years remain few if durst-
to survive, they may need a Messiah.
Some, sort of saviour for their existence
they'll require that Mongolian fire.
A now how life brings in subsistence
sadly, their extinction is now nearly, entire?
Two-sightings-were reported on the Volga Delta
it's the death song of an operetta.
