Your children now will never meet, a Carolina Parakeet.
The passenger pigeon is gone too, the last one died while at the zoo.
Their flocks at one time blocked the sky, who thought that soon they all would die.
We have to learn now to protect, and treat animals with more respect.
The southern swamps seem strangely still. We hear no more the Ivory-bill.
Is it gone? we can not say,.but hope he will be found some day.
The list goes on and is too long, it's time to correct what we did wrong.
To kill our wildlife is insane, who wants to shoot a whooping crane.
Yet someone will pick up a gun and shoot an animal just for fun.
and if the shot doesn't leave him dead, he'll no doubt die when he eats the lead
How many times is oil to spill, and foul our waters and slowly kill?
We contaminate our very lives, its a wonder anyone survives.
The time has come from now and hence, for us to use some common sense.
Lets save this place that we have soiled, Come together and save this world.
The new year's here, lets start anew. to save the planet is what we'll do.
If we do wrong the future's dark, because there's no Jurassic park.
