Nature's Revenge

NATURE’S REVENGE

Raging gale howls, lashes, batters,
sideways stones, peppering gunshot,
frowning sky weeps, weeps, weeps, 
floods the ground with angry tears.

Earth’s lungs ripped from their roots,
creatures driven from their homes.
Furious waves flex their muscles,
throw their huge weight over shores.

Intense heat burning the earth,
no water to quench our thirst.
Creatures cremated, crops charred,
forces too powerful to beat.

Nature is angry at our abuse,
time has come for her revenge,
We must listen, make reparation,
or face our demise.
