The Vaquita

 


Humans with power are not truly fair;
The Vaquita perishes, and all they offer is despair.

The Vaquita is a species rarely mentioned and extremely rare; they are critically endangered and lack a voice to share.

Found only in the Northern Gulf of California, swimming alone or in a pair.

Illegal fishing sends a warning flare; Boom! Now there is a huge disruption to the beat on the snare.

They suffer in agony, caught in gillnets, disoriented, and deprived of air.

Media boasts about the tallest hotel being built in the world, with none to compare.

So much money spent for grandiosity yet the ocean is dying; how unfair!

Sixty-seven years, and extinction hopped quick as a hare,

Profound ignorance and human stupidity shine in its glare.

Their swim bladders are smuggled into China; murder she wrote, what oceanic care!

Used for traditional Chinese medicine; how foolish! Is this what they truly prepare?

Is a call of action to late to declare?

Is there hope for such an intelligent species to swim around over here and there?

The Vaquitas balance the marine ecosystem with a humble affair.

"Phocoena sinus" means little cow and their beauty needs no repair.

Oh dear humanity, how could we let them crumble while we stare?

Humans with power are not truly fair;
The Vaquita perishes, and all they offer is despair.

Holy in disguise (criticism applied)

Oh Holy, holy are the lambs, Oh Roly, roly-poly and dirty are their hands. From a big fat zero to a negative ten, A wolf in a sheep's clothing; these are some of the men. To save one's image, you must erase whatever you can from the media, From police, to victims, to lawyers, to criminals, and everything undercover in the encyclopedia. With a sleight of hand: money laundering, fraud, murder, and sexual abuse. Hidden truths, yet holiness was spread all over the news. Predicted his death at 96 but died at 84, Blah blah , goo goo ga ga; he's known as Sathya Sai Baba. Allegations of pseudoscience, improper financial dealings, holding individuals captive, and sexual assault. Fooling the world is his default; Known as Sadhguru, real name Jagadish, occupation: rotten fish. Fraud, money laundering and rape: who could be this idiot wearing a wolf's cape? No fatal theory, facts-not cheery-this is a schizophrenic, named Shepherd Bushiri. Robbing U.S. taxpayers disgu...

  AVENGERS! Do not read too quickly; you might miss the rhyme. You have a strong heart and a long lifespan, y ou have a genius brain and a fine game plan. You are a philanthropist, and your name is Iron Man. With anger and rage, avoidable issues are listed on an infinite page, As the calamities are in bulk, you have now turned into the Incredible Hulk. By diving under and defeating the enemy's blunder, A change of wonder, you have just become Thor, the God of Thunder. Perception of reality with a flick of a switch, Living in the present moment and you are now in control just like the Scarlet Witch. The clues to resolve matters are in range: problem-solving techniques and you are now Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange. Are you "you"? When you look in the mirror, do you see "you"? Never lead a double life that brings chaos and causes internal strife. A secret identity follows a perilous plan; The ultimate goal is to soar higher than the amazing Spider-Man...

High five! (Psych)

Image
  The past is an old user, The present is the current mover, The future can deliver something newer, How about a refreshing psychological booster? People can gossip, people can curse, people can throw funny remarks, and people can give you a fright. You are great, You are bright, Don't forget! You are glamorous in sight, whether in day or in night. People can break your heart by not knowing the good tendencies you have, People can take advantage of you even though it's honesty and love you only had, Remain calm! Untreated trauma can turn one really, really bad. Work with ambition to strive, Some bees can sting you in the hive, Chin up! You are already a conqueror of life! Hands up! It's time for a high five.
