Sense Sonnet - Acher

Consuming Ash

The emerald ash borer is blamed
For causing ash trees to be killed.
This beetle for the ash tree named
At eating the wood is quite skilled.
In Asia for millions of years,
These two life forms have existed.
Nature has made good balance spheres.
O'er time the trees have resisted
The infesting beetles' attack.
But human attack on the trees
Is relatively on fast track,
Speeding extinction guarantees.

The greatest threat to the ash tree -
Consumption by humanity.
