When Nature Moans

Of late, nature moans  inside a scraped womb
As her lush environ   FLOUNDERS    breaks  out…
Played  like a trusting  NEOPHYTE from woods  to  rivers
She endures the BOMBAST of dirt through man’s crimes:

Awaiting kindness …amends remain undone
While  LECHEROUS  deeds persist without guilt,  why, why?
More wrongs ravage innocent fish  and flora 
Infecting her very marrow, to drain away.

Loot, SMOLDER, rip a body !  Time runs out.
Mother Earth answers through bloodied jolts…
By will of PROVIDENCE, she whips a  storm without INHIBITION
Halting indifference, her fire scalds air’s layers,
A  battle citizens  might grow DOLOROUS  over--
Until her soul is nourished back,  till she moans no more.

Judy Ball Date: 6/18/2019 4:48:00 AM So well said Nette. Man has from the beginning tried to improve on what God already made perfect and in so doing he is destroying his own environment. Man can't seem to learn to leave well enough alone. Good job here. Bravo. God Bless, JB Login to Reply
