There are several poems by that name or theme.

Explanation:

Here's an example. If it is not the one you had in mind you may use the example to develop your own observations.
"Endangered Species" by Dan Beachy-Quick
https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/endangered-species

In the isolate field he comes to count one by
one the rare butterflies as they die.

Walk graceless through the field.
...with numbers that speak diminishment.

These lines follow ones that use the same words in a more peaceful setting, thus emphasizing the bias, lack of concern and oppression of the casual observer.
