A poem made for International Polar Bear Day last year but got delayed by a hectic week that made it hard to finish back then along with another poem but both did get done and written obviously. Originally posted and finished March 2021

Preserving Those Inhabitants of the Dwindling Ice

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;By: A.X.

On the arctic and subarctic ice lives those majestic creatures&nbsp;

The powerful polar bear with all their built for cold features&nbsp;

Their place as the arctics apex predator unquestionable and their existence essential&nbsp;

They're the kind of impressive animal that can make you get existential&nbsp;

Unfortunately for them and us they now face the problem of a rapidly dwindling home

Temperatures rise and the climate becomes increasingly erratic&nbsp;

It's possible soon they'll lack their familiar tundra biome&nbsp;

If the polar ice does continue to shrink and eventually disappear in the coming years&nbsp;

It's practically inevitable what would happen then I fear&nbsp;

The mighty polar bears would vanish as the ice faded away

We're already seeing glimpses of this tragic future

Faster than expected the experts say&nbsp;

Still there's hope even during a period of uncertainty and dismay&nbsp;

We've identified the problem and ways to prevent further progression of what's happening now

It's just a matter of figuring out how

How to reverse the growth of the terrible seeds of an unnaturally changing climate that shouldn't have been sowed&nbsp;

We can only hope we somehow do and the fierce polar bears manage to endure&nbsp;

That for the problem of the dwindling ice we find a solution in time, a cure

People are already trying, it's just a matter of continuing and doing our best to do more

To be sure that's there's a future for the sake of the polar bears and the world that is secure&nbsp;
