Another day of prayers for all of us and problems I turn to poetry
ENDANGERED SPECIES
God created all things
Mountain high
So green the valley
On a rocky knoll
At the highest point
Of the largest tree
Comes a primal cry
Silenced by a guns volley
The woods no longer sleep
For a bald Eagle had died
Not for sport or food
Added to the list of
Man's inhumanity to beast of prey
A poachers feathered plumb
Displayed in a trophy room
I the feather now weep
Another of Man's senseless tallies
Lord take care of the old and endangered
The strong take care of the very meek
