C'est La Unvie, No?

A million monarchs lie dead, though,
no less sociological programming of
upper-middle to rich classes with
decadence, affluence, inclusion, is.
No less societal determination of
middle to lower, being excluded by
division and conquering, privation.

Yet, they, on wing no more, still fly in 
our spirit's eye, heal humanity's heart. 
While their silent cry echoes
the 33,000 species extant each year,
a rate not seen since the last ice-age
ensued, does it move you?
Does your curiosity ask why?

Will you, on this 33rd Earth Day, allow
a tear for all life's fallen?  Consider
the losses economic apartheid incurs,
mirrored by the divide human-centricity
has levied?  Our underlying duplicitous
disregard for life, avarice and oil fueled,
won't abate for our existence, will you?

(From the French, the title, 'c'est la unvie', means, 'it's the unlife'.  For the beautiful monarch butterflies that have decreased in population by 97 % since the late  90's; without butterflies there's so much less food- humanity will be extinct soon after.  Thanx for all you All do.  "To walk in seasons Is to question, A flower is opening.", Basho.  Have a good eve'   :)   reality)
