Nature's Tempest - Collab

Wearied by our crass negligence,
Troubled by our stern ploy,
We're blinded to the evidence,
Nonchalant to her joy.

Consumed by our intelligence,
We obtain and destroy.
Disrupting nature's elements,
Anguish our hands employ.

   Joanna Daniel's Part

Plundered by greed's malevolence,
Her patterns, we annoy,
Though nature in her elegance,
Blessings, let us enjoy.

Ashamed by our impenitence,
When will we change deploy?
Let's not exploit benevolence,
Not use her like our toy
