Fairy Penguins

Parading away at night

While humans are causing a fight

Are innocent fairy penguins.

Penguins scheduling their next meetings

All cancelled because of our selfish pollution problems

Populations go down without a single care from the world.

Fish slipping away from the grasp of these penguins

Habitats being cleared away and replaced with beach houses

It’s a game of run away and once again all our fault.

“I blame you!” is all we will hear on the day of extinction

We blame each other as one by one,

The animals are lead to their death.

Used for their oils and fur,

None of us will miss them

We never cared anyway.

“Our last fairy penguins”, is what it will be on display

With just one or maybe two penguins

Side by side, weary and tired of no one visiting them

As they wait for death to come….
