Casper the Ghost
In an era when human population and
their need for food continues to expand
Tough day for wildlife as they watch
their shrhe inking habitat lands
Loss of habitat more and more
animals from extinction will not be able to withstand
Reduced clinging to species life in
zoos but in very small bands
The rain forests continue to be
destroyed at an alarming rate
In the oceans by our over fishing many
commercial species we soon will decimate
We humans need to get our act
together to habitat preserve
Better treatment these living
creature deserve
If the race to extinction is to slow
The species that will survive are
those that live where humans will not go
The point made when 2.5 miles under
the surface near the Hawaii coast
We just discovered a new species of octopus
the shy ghost
White and weak looking and lacking
suckers on all eight arms
Unless humans find away to overcome
the crushing water pressure it will be safe from harm
Put in the survival of the species
extinction race
One pale octopus that humans from
this planet will not be able to erase
