Don’t Feed the Wildlife

What will it take for us to change our ways?

We lost the fireflies

Would the silencing of cricket choirs be enough?

Imagine walking around a neighborhood filled with trees and grasses

Adorable little cottages

And having it be

Utterly

Silent

What will we do then?

Disappear further into our headphones?

Convenience always wins

It’s why we’re told

Don’t feed the wildlife
