Mother Nature's Revenge
The Ring of Fire sits ready to erupt
Perhaps Mother Nature has had enough
Of pollutants invading reservoirs
And oil-drilled coastlines, sands coated by tar
Sea creatures poisoned by hazardous waste
Trash left on beaches by people in haste
Sea oats destroyed as construction proceeds
Turtle hatchlings wandering toward manmade beams
Whales wash up and expire on ocean shores
Battleships litter the deepest sea floors
With thinning ozone, sea temperatures rise
Igniting rage in Mother Nature’s eyes
Volcanoes, tsunamis are her weapons
Earth’s last days may be man’s time to reckon
