Shark fins soup is nice

But it is vain indulgence

Such fish is scarce 

A solemn moment

In a mysterious glade

Another tree felled  

Apocalypse steeds

Gallop through arid tundra

Warming sodden earth 

Waste water buried

Into deep and dark chasms

Toxic fumes now reek 

A blanket of smog

Turns the land into slate gray

A cold night descends  

Hummingbirds’ sad song

Plaintive dirge augur its loss

Evil haze spares none 

Plummet like Icarus

Mount Apo’s regal eagle

Dead as the Dodo
