Menacing Sky

How dare Mother Nature that we adore
show her dark side, exercise her wrath 
sending destruction from ocean to shore 
creating devastation, carnage, blood bath,

Her message, should we ignore, disregard
power at her disposal, power to destroy 
not her intention, Earth she must safeguard
for future generations to evolve, to enjoy.

not to heed her concerns would be insane
Custodians of Earth, huge responsibility,
quakes, floods, and disastrous hurricanes 
she will discipline, until we adhere humility,

our intelligence, our technology, we can not deny
responsibilities, when looking at a menacing sky.
