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
