Wailing Nature
UNSUPPORTED CODE Wailing nature UNSUPPORTED CODE
Sorrowful, tired and hopeless I sit, watching the cruel sun setting
Looking at the few standing leafless trees, “they are lucky to be surviving”
No hope for new ones shooting after merciless cutting
As the wood millers did this, about tomorrow they were not thinking
The evergreen forest, to a new desert it’s slowly changing
But Mother Nature we are sorry, but we know dearly we will pay
We enjoy as we burn those rugs, but our nature we are destroying
Smoke and dangerous gases, factories produce in the name of manufacturing
For the flying birds we don’t care, all we need is profit making
Harmful gases we are inhaling, leaving our bodies weakening
Rising temperatures we experience, leaving many crying
But Mother Nature we are sorry, but we know dearly we will pay
On the mountain peaks and polar zones we see melting ice
Abnormal heat and wild fires we experience
Floods everywhere, since no tree stands on its place
Farmers crying, but no one to explain the rainfall decrease
Majority of us not being directly affected, we live in peace
But Mother Nature we are sorry, but we know dearly we will pay
Since all is not lost each has a big role to take
If we try we can revive everything to its original state
By planting trees and protecting forests, we will change our fate
And in clean and smooth streams flow of pure water will take place
Also let’s prevent soil, air and water pollution from taking place
But Mother Nature we are sorry, but we know dearly we will pay
