    The Extinction of the Sea Turtles

    By Elton Camp Human villainy is a cause for alarm It causes much environmental harm If the sea turtle should become extinct To deliberate human acts it is linked Sea turtles take decades to sexually mature Then their offspring are far from secure Males and females mate out in the sea But on the sandy beach its nests must be To the beach where hatched many return Only to be met by the selfish and stern She hauls herself up onto the home beach Digs a hole to put her eggs out of reach Then she covers and hides them well Just where they are its hard to tell But people have been there on alert And immediately dig into the dirt Huge sacks of eggs they carry away So there will be no babies another day It is largely because of this disgrace That extinction the sea turtle does face
