When Did We Start Hating Nature?

When did we start hating nature? Fields of flowers plowed under Killed to make room for a Walmart Miles of trees cut down to make a road Grey asphalt with white and yellow lines Lines that lead nowhere and everywhere Air once clear and cool changed Pollution turns the bright blue to brown Chemical trails replace clouds As the birds drop from the skies Water once teemed with life Is now covered with waste detergent And slick with a million barrels of oil Mother Nature gave us a gift A pristine planet Fresh air Clean water A world of trees and flowers. Man decided to make it more efficient To waste what she gave us To slowly kill our planet The question remains When did we start hating nature?
