Endangered Nevermore (Acrostic Villanelle)

E ndlessly ravaging. Great Mother is sore. N eglecting our niche as we’re blind by our pride, D rowning our brothers, once endangered now nevermore, A ngels, if real would weep waves, sweep the shore, N othing to quell our destructible stride, G rotesque and ravaging, Great Mother is sore, E gos neglect nature’s laws and her lore, R aping and pillaging, to ourselves we have lied, E xecuting our sisters, once endangered, now nevermore, D runk on cheap spoils as we rot from the core, N o place will be left when the time comes to hide, E agerly ravaging. Great Mother is sore. V enomous vagrants, we bathe in our gore E njoying indifference, in mortality we confide R uining our kin, once endangered now nevermore M assacre, murder… but revenge is in store, O pen your eyes, run and hide from the tide, R aping and ravaging, but Great Mother will soar, E nd is near. Us too, one day endangered then nevermore.
