Nature's Way
NATURE’S WAY
Once there was a wealthy town
Up north near the China sea
In a hill and forested area
However, the inhabitants were divided tribes
They have a very bad and distinct attitudes and habits
The natives were hypocrites
Crab mentalities
Each one aspire or pretend to be the wealthiest
That nobody wouldn’t want their neighbors unsurpassable
In terms of their jewelries and material possessions.
One day, the skies became dark
It heavy rained, lightning and thunderstorms for a week
There was a couple asking for shelter was never accommodated
Until suddenly a big bang was heard
And in the early morning
That town vanished, and a lake appeared
From the deep, deep bottom
You can surmised the church is within
And the live fishes wore their gills with earrings
And at one side of the lake we can find
Three old trunks submerged upside down
A manifestation that a town was submerged
Like a boat was capsized.
Thus, it is nature’s way of wrath
To punish the excesses of the inhabitants.
