Deforestation

Deforestation Sore cosmos, maimed nature Silently pouring irate invective On myopic mortals Without a lamp or vista Beauty lost to the beast Pristine lands, barren grounds Green fields, brown meadows Nature mislay, love lost Man's gain, nature's pain Buy the forest, sell it not The Owl mourns its lost cottage The Lion roars in disillusion At the sight of its looted Kingdom Elephants trumpet in hunger and anger Loud wails echo in the animal kingdom As humanity hails new conquest Snow-covered oceans thawing Seals, sore memories for Bears The forest shaved bald As the torrents become bold Temperature soaring Men rejoicing In cathedrals without hues.
