Here is the poem I promised you.
NO BUTTERFLIES
"But that was in the days
when we had butterflies"
said the grandmother in
the TV play "Years after Years"
set in the future. I cried.
Part of me died when I heard
those words, and still they go
round and round in my head.
That night in bed I wondered
how many more insects, birds
and animals would become
extinct in my lifetime.
What have we done? We had
so much; an abundant earth
with water, sun and the fresh
green beauty of grasses, plants
and trees. We must act now.
It is our duty.
