Natures Cry

Such beauty all around
But so few of us truly see
The wonders of nature
Such diversity and passion
A variety of life

From the feel of the wind in your face
To the smell of springs first bloom
The excitement of the young
When winters first snow comes

The simple joy of watching a squirrel
Run across a field, or waking to the song
of birds. Such great tranquility surrounds us
But so few of us truly see.

Then a great roar in the depth of forests
Natures peace so rudely disturbed
As JCB’s and chainsaws are brought to life
To wreak havoc and death to it’s splendour

Huge plumes of smoke high in the sky
As our factories and homes spew forth great filth
Nature itself left to wonder, as the seas and oceans,
polluted with humanities waste

What did she do to deserve such treatment
To watch as her children are killed and maimed
Hearing the cries of her beloved planet
go unanswered, as the plague of humans spreads.

What price will we pay for this disregard
Already nature seems more vengeful than ever
With the seas rising and wreaking havoc upon humanity
Storms lashing the landmasses we over populate
Earthquakes so powerful ripping the earth from beneath our feet

This is surely but a warning from the oldest living thing
Take better care of my child for she supports you too
Listen not to this cry, and surely we will perish
Then who will care about humanity?
The animals shall once again have their peace.
