The Pride and the Fury

Nature's anger As we hurt her pride We rape and pillage Her countryside These storms she brings Her power of wrath Tornado's, Tsunami's Destruction path Floods so furious As they sweep all aside Boulders like houses Cast aside Torrential rain Mother Nature's tears Storm drains struggle Increase our fears What's to do, To calm her down Act as we care In our cities and towns In her countryside To honor, obey And maybe her wrath Will have a politer say If she has any sisters Out there and beyond If we treat them the same I'm sure they'll respond She has given us grace To live on her lands The least we can do Is try to understand

Awesome Write. I Feel The Same. Nature Is The Strongest Force Out There, And We Should Feel Honored To Be Able To Live Among This Beauty. We Should Respect It Rather Than Destroying It Like We Have. Thank You For Sharing This Piece. Peace And Love. Jese

James, I love this poem. And I love Mother Nature. The Bible instructs man to "replenish" the earth. Instead, it is often ravaged. I enjoyed this a lot. Keep writing. Lovingly, Dane
