Winds of Change

Wind, a very strong wind Uprooting formidable trees Of righteousness, morality descend Wiping the butterflies and Bees That bestow color and sweetness To discerning sagacious eyes Tormenting souls witness How humanity cries Destroying all that is in path Reducing frail houses of virtues To fragments in their wrath And then the change ensues Gigantic skyscrapers of lust In the horizon of ambition Rise from the ground’s dust Wearing immaculate condition And pythons of motorways of concrete Crawl in the serenity of greenery With smokes vehicles secrete Atmospheric imbalance kills scenery Change is the law of nature Everything that exists is prone To change and alteration of feature Providence has decreed and shown But must change adopt this fashion As the smiling bud changes into flower Can’t there be virtue in alteration Is conflict with nature only answer

This is awesome. Remember the quote: “It's not nice to fool Mother Nature?” Hopefully, mankind with heed the message and take care of God's earth. I like the flow of the words and the rhyming pattern. The theme is also consistent from the beginning to the end. Great job! ~Joseph

Change is the only way for a soul's progression...if not for change nothing would ever be...for there must be opposition to overcome! That is the key. This is a beautifully written poem full of searching - I love that. :) Blessings to you always, and thank you for your wonderful comments, Kristin :)
