Lamenting the Death of Nature

Lamenting the death of Nature The rivers are dry and the dams are bursting Drying savannah and in some cases totally scorched I feel the pang in my heart , smelling the fumes Of fires so fierce i can barely breath The widely spaced trees that used to give a canopy To an ever so green savannah is no more The ocean that used to be so blue reflecting on the blue skies Has turned from grey to brown and from brown to being Filled with debris from all over the world Plastic to glass and paper to metal and even dead animals The sand that i used to roll and frolick on is just as dirty But where is humanity when we hurt bruise and abuse nature Who is guilty i quiz myself hopelessly in my mind The answer lies with all of us yes all of us living today The forces of nature have had it for every passing day A natural disaster is reported from all angles of the globe Mudslides here burning forests there and nothing seems to change Our nature of feeding into an endless lust of consumerism Has turned and made us humans an enemy to nature Children born tomorrow will be born into a balding earth I cry for mother nature for no amount of money could replace her For at the end of the day there will be no more trees to print the money Mother nature do not let your wrath fall upon us Give us the wisdom to respect and honour your children The earth the water the fire the air and most of all The space we all need to live in
