Fragile thin egg shells.
Few bald eagle fledglings.
Empty nests.
Poisoned earth.
DDT
Death dealer
not saviour.
Found everywhere
water
food
our bodies.
Bald eagles
close to extinction
Bald eagles
saved by action.
DDT banned.
Humanity
close to extinction.
Life close to extinction.
Take action.
Save our
blue water world,
our only home.
