Nature Weeps

Earth Abides

I can’t believe the things you’ve done, they make no sense to me,

you destroy my streams and kill my fish, how evil you must be?

 

You clog my air with ugly fumes, and create toxic waste,

You flood my seas with deadly oil, in your ugly mindless haste.

 

You cut the forests where creatures live, and take away their life,

you work and push and try your best, to create worldly strife.

 

 So dear to me the many lives, your greed and arrogance took,

And in your rush to poison Earth, you made no second look.

 

I create life you create death, you’re a cancer in my heart,

I’m sick and tired of all mankind, I need a fresh new start.

 

 It’s time to make my final stand, to make you go away,

to clear the smell and clean the land, and seek a better day.

 

You had your chance to work with me, to live in harmony,

But you chose the other path, and your final destiny.

 

 Your days on Earth are very short, mankind is not our friend,

The world will sing and laugh with joy, at your quick and final end.

I look forward to the day, whether here or from the other side. Excellent read and write.

It is sad people don't have concern for nature. We need her more than she need us. Th poem told the truth and if we don't change. Nature will turn against us. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
