Nature's phone call

Signs that we should not take for granted.... Nature's call...

The wave came and destroyed everything in its passage

It broke down walls, its threw down trees, it crushed down houses and ripped roads apart

It brought mourning and outcry's

Nature made a phone call, what was it trying to tell us?

They swam for hours looking for their usual spot of ice,

They could not find it...

They swam till their legs could not take the pressure... Finally they let go, sinking in the deep harsh cold sea

Nature made a phone call, what was it trying to tell us?

They thought it was supposed to be the dry season, no rain was expected for a long time

But an never ending rainfall fell down mercilessly covering everything up slowly but surely

A flood appeared out of the blue, a strong current dragging people harshly down what was once a simple road

Nature made a phone call, what was it trying to tell us?

A small island only used to cyclones during the cyclonic season

The cyclones never came, but a tornado decided to grace the island with its presence

Destroying homes and a lifetime of work

Nature made a phone call yet again... What does it want to tell us?

It was just a cough, a shiver and a little rise of temperature,

Classified as a common cold, no one took it seriously

But soon it killed hundreds in hours, thousands in days, a new pandemic was born with no real cure

Nature made yet another phone call? What does it want?

Nature keeps making those phone calls, everyday, every night, every year

Maybe to tell us its had enough of men treating the earth like it was never their home

Treating with no respect

Those are phone calls from nature, not revenge

It is only the price humans pay for never being able to respect what was given to them for free

The Earth...

I agree. If we don't take of nature. She won't take care of us. Thank you for the outstanding poetry.

This poem is basically about what is going on, simply put everything that is going on. From global warming right down to sicknesses. Indirect calls made from nature, trying to teach us lessons on how we should actually start treating what we were blessed to get.
