Poaching Protected Wildlife
What is the moral of this story? Has it one?
To inform that science is fully capable of
restoring that which human folly has destroyed?
And while the plan at some future date using
newly formulated experimentation to successfully
match eggs and sperm frozen post extraction
from beasts now accorded the extinction label
resulting from hubris and disconcerting casual
unconcern of an entitled culture ravaging all
manner of animal species both rare and common
to satisfy the collective whim of people entranced
with their ability to transform skin and bones
into dainty dishes to grace the table of a gourmet
population or use in medication or potions much
less the raw material prized for matchless qualities
in producing art objects of great acclaim research
only hopes to replicate nature's matchless genius
while rapacious superiority and the conceit of
humans will guarantee that the extinct once
resurrected will yet again be regarded as nature's
gift to humankind in its ravening appetite to
destroy and reap the rewards using the platform
nature provides to ravish vulnerable creatures
all presumably at the disposal of humankind.
