I'm Sure We Killed It
on the Galapagos Islands
new species of animals develop
to accommodate their immediate surroundings
and everything fits with nature
think of trees around the world:
there seems to be a tree
for the needs of every animal:
the eucalyptus and the Koala Bear,
woodpeckers to make holes in trees,
even think of the leaping and traversing of monkeys in the trees
or that even certain dead grasses are needed for locusts
animals thrive around trees producing food they can eat
in nature, every tree has its niche
and everything fills its need
unlike animals, we humans don't have a single tree:
we cut them down for building and heating our homes
we cut down rain forests to plant more orange groves
(you know, so our orange juice can taste worse, but cost less)
we cherish some for food, but destroy others:
we destroy the rain forests
which counteracts the human effect on global warming
we destroy the rain forests
that possibly possess the natural cures
for diseases that help us kill ourselves
maybe that's what we get
and maybe there once was a single tree for humans
I'm sure we killed it
