Monarch butterflies are going extinct:
the careless destruction of habitat
and overuse of pesticides is linked
to the death of butterflies and moths that
pollinate our crops and feed bats and birds
we need regulations, and rules, and laws
that protect the bugs: we need more than words,
we need to keep butterflies from the jaws
of extinction. Imagine how the world
would be without bugs to eat the garbage
that humans produce, the garbage unfurled
all across the landscape: a hopeless age
where insects no longer live beside us,
we need legislation that will guide us.
