“We owe it to our children and to our grandchildren,
To leave behind a legacy of protecting endangered species,
And the special places they call home.”
Leda Huta,
Director of the Endangered Species Coalition
Our ‘leaders’ so proudly proclaimed yesterday
Sunday, May 18th, ‘Endangered Species Day’
I don’t know whether I should laugh or cry
They truly don’t give a damn in so many ways
It took a long drawn out lawsuit by conservation groups
Before they placed Polar Bear on ‘The Threatened List’
And today, our endangered and once protected Grey Wolf
Is savagely being gunned down, with their blessing and bliss
And right now, many of our so called ‘very caring leaders’
Want to take protection away from Dolphin and Sea Lion
These creatures are being blamed for our vanishing salmon
Which makes a wildlife advocate like me want to start cryin
Most of them also can’t wait to level our many national parks
They have removed restrictions, for oil and lumber companies
I guess they think that we’re all so easily fooled, and so gullible
Proclaiming an ‘Endangered Species Day’ is supposed to appease
Yet, the very savage aerial hunting of our wolves in Alaska continues
Wolves are also being gunned down in and around Yellowstone Park
Many of our dolphins and sea lions have been very brutally murdered
Our ‘leaders’ proclaim a day for them, and condone murder in the dark
If we ever hope to follow Ms. Huda’s profound message above
We, as a nation, have to start electing officials, who truly do care
Every day in this country, they take away more wildlife protection
And one day soon, our children won’t see a wild animal, anywhere
There are Currently
Over 1,200 Endangered Species
In the U.S. Alone;
And The Wolf In This Picture,
So Savagely Shot Down,
From the Skies of Alaska,
Is Very Sadly One of Them.

As always our "folk tongue" Government
thrive and feed upon lies, like vampires to blood
To me politicians are the scum of the earth
cause of our own downfall
