Why Does Mother Nature Shed Her Tears?

I watch as Mother nature sheds her tears
I think and wonder why?
Why does Mother nature shed her tears?
Is it for how we treat her gifts to us?
How we murder that which is not ours' to kill
Is it for the poisons we feed her?
The air that is polluted by our carelessness
Is it for the emptiness she feels?
The trees that were plenty, but now few
I watch as Mother nature sheds her tears.
I think and wonder why?
