Nature

Nature As I walk through the forest I hear the silence of the wood Nature is at contest Where beasts once stood The wind rustling the trees Shaking to the ground Earth creeping with weeds Smell nature all around Creatures climbing high Beasts burrowing deep No birds in the sky Cause nature to weep As the one on two arrives And takes nature in threes Those on four will not survive Save the five he never sees This new beast that comes And ploughs the land Nature come undone By this one hand All the animals they scatter To lands far and wide As nature begins to shatter Turn, to run and hide Blood spills over the earth From this hand that strikes Against nature's last birth The cry that fills the nights As the earth turns to mud I hear the silence of death With a resounding thud Nature takes it's last breath As man turns and walks away His unholy quest now done Head hung low in dismay For now in nature there is none Falling to his knees Precious air has gone Along with the trees Natures vengeance is long Too late does man learn That nature holds all These things that he yearns And by ignorance he'd fall His body by earth reclaimed To bring about new life Man's name once shamed Nature, reborn without strife
