Jenna Logan Poet Terza Rima

Mother Earth Grieves

Earth's beauty was created with its dawning
But flora and fauna will soon be extinct
Mankind refuses to accept the warning

Their abusive pursuits of nature is linked
to forests felled, toxins dumped in streams and yet
Concerns are ignored, the list far past succinct

Mother Nature's wounded; slain without regret
Animal habitats, men selfishly claim
To this ravaged planet, he owes a great debt

But he continues to reave, devoid of shame
Earth grieves in mourning. Human greed is to blame
