Death Begats New Life
DEATH BEGATS NEW LIFE
~~~~~
From her heart, earth bleeds molten death, no life!
Time passes, death-inviting, begs new life.
Flora seeking fertile soil, frugal needs,
finds nurture in the lava soil, its' life.
Habitat reviving, new life survives,
Reptiles, small mammals', all manner of life.
Bushes, shrubs, trees', all manner of large flora,
now thriving, new communities of life.
First forest, then jungle, a river, fish!
One organic form missing, human life.
They cleared the jungle, polluted the stream,
where ere they go cause strife to all wildlife.
Hark! A rumble, the volcano wakes those
in whom instinct guides, gone to save their life.
They, it, life in all forms will return, seeking.
A new millennium rewards the same, life
Me, Mick, write what I see, reality.
The earth bleeds death with no regard for life!
Preservation, a trait, mans' still learning
wildlife ways, live, let nature control life.
Me, Mick Talbot, an observer, one voice,
begs all to help nature save the world, life!
