I have written various poems on this subject "What the hell have we done" is one that springs to mind. Each year we hear of more terrible natural disasters and new virus's keep rearing their heads. I say its time we listen and force goverment to take new measures against pollution
I have long said mother nature is against us
we are no more than a nasty virus to her.
She has sent us many warnings over the years
which mainly fell on deaf ears due to human greed
The response has been in our hands for a long time
but blithely we carried on with our terrible pollution.
We laughed in her face giving her the finger and
dominating the innocent fauna and flora around us.
So should we really be surprised when she fights back
how many people does she have to kill worldwide
before we wake up and rein ourselves in?
Have we yet learned the lesson she is teaching us?
I fear the answer is still a resounding No
Perhaps when she wipes out 50% of the human race
we may sit up and begin to realize she holds all the cards
That we only live at her will. She has the power to wipe us out.
