Haiku - a Warning - Concrete the Tree of Life It's Not

A
WARNING

CONCRETE THE TREE OF LIFE IT'S NOT

Inspired by our self-inflicted sufferings, natures too,
&
 Carlos  Trevino
~~~
what is right... or wrong...
nature knows not the difference
the fault lies with man...

there was once order
spring... summer... autumn... winter
in which we persist...

we... in denial...
nature can see were blind...
blinkered... polluting...

there is no malice
for now... nature has no choice
righting our wrongs

wilful... our doings...
she will... don't doubt... right them all
inadvertently...

we suffer
consequences
of our own making
why can't we understand
we all face a mass extinction
that's not what nature had in mind
evolution... or where only the fittest will survive
now enhanced... climate warming now decides who lives
who
dies
the tree of life is losing branches... we can no longer
DENY
unless we stop polluting
all life on earth will
...DIE...
CONCRETE THE TREE OF LIFE IS NOT

Silent One February 22, 2018 at 9:03 AM You are right Mick, us humans are our own worst enemies.. Great poem.. Mick Talbot February 22, 2018 at 1:14 PM Silent, All I ever try to do is fill the gap between sky and top of head, To stop the warnings going over hoping there taken inside instead. As is I think I am failing, I look and still see nature ailing, and it will always be the case as long as pollution is prevailing. I so wish I was not right... Mick
