Mother Natures Revenge

Mother Nature’s Revenge Eyes as red as fire Her breath can sink ships Her voice breaks glass when she screams Her temper shakes cites from their foundations Yet her hands are the most gentle Able to cup a baby bird as it learns to fly Her tears feed the planet that she loves Her kiss can spread colors across a barren desert She is the perfect mother for an infant planet Her work goes largely unnoticed by mortals Man doesn’t look as they kill miles of forests They don’t as they pollute her waters Humans don’t care as they turn the skies into sludge Someday they will pray to her Ask her for help When the planet is a gray ball with no beauty Will Mother Nature answer those who call for her now? Will she bring back the animals and plants men have destroyed? Or will she simply smile and ignore man? Or will she turn her attention to one plant Far away from man In that one plant with a single flower Will she give to it all of the beauty Earth has lost? Too little too late Man has made a mistake A million mistakes She may just be too tired to care Then what will the Earth become?
