Nature Dishonored
Have you ever been mesmerized
By the setting sun
Only to question what it’ll be like
If the sun refuses to set in the west
The rivers sometimes run and trickle
Down the slippery rocks of Dunns River Falls
Captivating visitors from near and far
One can’t help but wonder
How it will be
Should the rivers one day refuse
To run to the sea
Easter comes but once a year
And so does Christmas too
But should the clouds withhold their blessings
And bring forth rain just once
Would we take time to appreciate
Our beautiful beaches and lakes?
I was once hypnotized by the rainbow
Then later reminisced about its multi colored rays?
Just then I wondered
Should the rainbow desire a make makeover,
What would become of the violet, yellow and green?
With all these
We have been endowed
Yet we show no regard for their splendor
I would prefer a life rather mundane
Than to see nature return
The ill-favor we’ve shown.
