(Since its appearance in North America sometime in the 1980s, the Emerald Ash Borer has killed tens of millions of ash trees and threatens to destroy the entire population of 8.7 billion trees of this species in America.)
The ash tree returns to ash,
will the locusts be eaten by locusts?
One is dead and other not yet.
The world
still tries to spell its name.
How many vowels and continents?
It is not just a spelling bee.
Think of all the dead hives.
If plants are no longer pollinated
not even McDonalds will live
to serve its tens of billions.
