Natures way

The Earth is an oyster, garden of human kind;
we as a species have inherited its joys and declines!
No boundaries are there for the likes of we;
ours is the ability to fulfill our own destiny!
 
The niche they occupy governs all other species;
speciation is the factor that determines their type!
The function of, 'character displacement’ fuels change;
the ecological habitat space, confine of their range!
 
The islandness of a species may be small;
yet if no species this would impact upon all!
May be a drug could one day be refined;
found the cure for ills that plague human kind!
 
Take away a species however small;
this one act would lead to an ecosystems fall!
So “how can such a loss benefit humans”, I say;
yet natures song is interupted by all in some way!
 
The disappearing land due to ice caps decline;
the reason 'global warming’, a consequence of our kind!
Deforestation, fueled by human population growth;
these are the factors that affect nature the most!
 
We as a species know the reasons why;
but as yet what true combating measures have we tried?
Mother desperately needs a helping hand;
if given soon we may always stand!
