Nature's Revenge

… I see the bad moon a-risin'
I see trouble on the way
I see earthquakes and lightnin'
I see bad times today
… Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise
… I hear hurricanes a-blowin'
I know the end is comin' soon
I fear rivers over flowin'
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
… Don't go around tonight
Well it's bound to take your life
There's a bad moon on the rise, alright

There’s A Bad Moon On the Rise  CCR

Nature’s Revenge

We have spilled oil
and dumped garbage on the ground.
We have left tons of junk in space
and paved over natural habitats.
We have put toxic chemicals in the water
and spread our cities far and wide.


We have multiplied for so long more
than 8 billion of us cover the earth
spreading and consuming like bacteria on a
petri dish.
Like that bacteria we too will consume all
resources and leave nothing but toxic waste.

Perhaps nature will take its revenge.
