Endangered Resilience

Endangered Resilience

Through tides of time, the Act survived,
Its birth a championed cause revived,
Guarding nature’s wonders in its grasp,
Preserving species from oblivion’s clasp.

Despite challenges, it stood upright,
Defying odds and endless fights,
A shield against greed and human hand,
To safeguard creatures across the land.

Its creators, heroes both fierce and bold,
Faced adversity, their stories untold,
“I was threatened many times,” they said,
But persevered until the Act was spread.

Though highs were found within its reign,
Triumphs celebrated amid the pain,
There were lows, battles hard-fought,
Still, the Act endured, lessons taught.

For fifty years, its legacy unfolds,
A testament to the stories it holds,
The Endangered Species Act, revered,
An anthem of hope amid nature’s tears.
