Mother Nature
MOTHER NATURE
I woke up feeling cool in my room
Got up and stretched my hands to the roof
Checking the time, it was few minutes to noon
Had to dash out to the loo else I go against the rule and I'll be booked.
As the shower running
Likewise was my heartbeat running
I tried doing some humming
May be I could clear my Mind from turning
Alas it was too loud to know the water was skin burning
I remembered the time and knew I was late
I tried all I could but couldn't just beat the rate
Still I dashed out of my gate as I paced in haste.
In less than a month I'll add to my age
This's to tell me I'm now of age
I've bn a fine boy even at my stage
I never stopped being one, you need to check out my page
Life has shown me sides, yet I keep my rage
It's time for me to think before it's too late
This work won't give me joy forever
Nor the job keeping me fit moreover
Grey hair springing out like never
Even the girls now reply me "whatever"
But I don't give a damn whatsoever
It's time to leave the wilderness and wander less
Only God knows where I'll find myself next
Round the country I've been in each I try building my nest
Yet I've never found a place of rest
Mother nature behold your son wandering in the dunes of life
He's got no place to rest, but he's just alive
He's journeyed for decades yet never arrived
Be merciful and beam on his path a shining light
Mother nature mother nature
Can't keep toiling like this all my years
I live my life but all in fear
Day and night I soak my nest in tears
When I tread through the ice, I dread the polar bears
When I'm depressed I soak myself in bear
With this I break the heart of my dears
Mother nature the oracle of existence
Save your son from the grip of this fierce pestilence
I've tried to be great with every persistence
I fortified my heart with resilience
But the worth of my life is evident even in my residence
Rescue me before I get drowned
Can't continue to have my hair brown
I want my health sound and my frame round
Let me not be continually called a clown
Never wait till I go deep six feet down
This is when I need to be crowned.
