Wailing Nature

UNSUPPORTED CODE Wailing nature UNSUPPORTED CODE Sorrowful, tired and hopeless I sit, watching the cruel sun setting Looking at the few standing leafless trees, “they are lucky to be surviving” No hope for new ones shooting after merciless cutting As the wood millers did this, about tomorrow they were not thinking The evergreen forest, to a new desert it’s slowly changing But Mother Nature we are sorry, but we know dearly we will pay We enjoy as we burn those rugs, but our nature we are destroying Smoke and dangerous gases, factories produce in the name of manufacturing For the flying birds we don’t care, all we need is profit making Harmful gases we are inhaling, leaving our bodies weakening Rising temperatures we experience, leaving many crying But Mother Nature we are sorry, but we know dearly we will pay On the mountain peaks and polar zones we see melting ice Abnormal heat and wild fires we experience Floods everywhere, since no tree stands on its place Farmers crying, but no one to explain the rainfall decrease Majority of us not being directly affected, we live in peace But Mother Nature we are sorry, but we know dearly we will pay Since all is not lost each has a big role to take If we try we can revive everything to its original state By planting trees and protecting forests, we will change our fate And in clean and smooth streams flow of pure water will take place Also let’s prevent soil, air and water pollution from taking place But Mother Nature we are sorry, but we know dearly we will pay By Waweru Ngugi
