Drops

We weep,

We weep,

For each animal species

That passes on

Without another trace

Of its breath on this earth.

We weep,

We weep,

When another plant,

Another animal

Takes the original’s place

And grows like wildfire.

But weep,

Oh! Weep!

For yourselves.

For you shall perish as well.
