Don'T Deny
Don't make her cry; why you can't control greed;
Don't snatch natural uniqueness; try
to rein your desire, don't act like bad guy.
Let her stay in peace; don't force her to bleed.
Why do you need more; your hunger for more
space, glitz, comfort, wealth at her cost imply
harming her natural beauty; go by
nature's law; keep right sense; don't ignore.
Damage will magnify, it'll pull you down.
Don't take nature's calm granted. Think why
so many lives lost in disaster; try
to acknowledge her rage; now learn, don't frown.
Your so called strength can't face her wrath, fury.
For our children curb your greed. Don't deny.
