A Tear For Mother Nature
Yesterday,
A
green
army
of
trees
stood
here
Marching
forward
in
grandeur
Their
green
leaves
shone
with
brilliance
In
the
glowing
sun
Generous
with
light
Their
roots
held
defiantly
to
the
content
soils
beneath
Yesterday,
A
gallant
stream
rolled
downhill
Like
one
striving
In
a
race
of
beauty
Its
daring
waters
Whipping
the
rocks
beneath
Today,
Dead
rocks
quake
from
the
heat
of
the
sun
Where
trees
of
yesterday
Had
spread
their
splendid
feet
Pools
of
dust
now
reign
Where
trees
had
cast
cool
shadows
of
life
A
yawning
emptiness
now
spreads
In
the
stead
of
green
leaves
That
shone
with
life
The
path
of
that
daring
stream
Is
but
a
gaping
wilderness
Of
tired,
cracking
rocks
Thirsting
for
water
But
none
to
quench
The
fish
that
filled
the
stream
Are
but
memories
of
a
dying
age
Am
a
hurting
and
dying
mother
Call
me
Mother
Nature
If
for
me
you
will
shed
a
tear
