Best Nature Society Poems
Fall and
red yellowing
leaves in the trees
an old man sitting
on a bench
watches them
fall
and thinks of his youth
a youth
sitting on a bench
looking into his iPhone
simulates the falling
red yellowing leaves
and googles
the future
of trees
There is a flawless planet that abounds with diverse life
Where humans live in unity, free from hate and strife
The oceans, lands and rivers are all thriving and pristine
And people work together, to keep it safe and clean
There are no country borders, no money, fear or greed
And food that keeps them healthy, is all begun from seed
Their homes are eco friendly, as are the clothes they wear
And the source of their adornment is the flowers in their hair
Their lifestyle is simplistic, no stress to make them ill
And all who dwell upon this globe are people of goodwill
This wondrous sphere with lifeforms, near a star was given birth
A place of peace and beauty and her name is Mother Earth
A dry habitat where sailing boats were invented
and the paper, pens, keys and toothpaste.
Also where beer was a national currency
and the last dress standing is preserved.
This dwelling offers worship to more than a thousand deities
and cats’ funerals are honoured with the shave of the eyebrows
The most numbered Arab citizenry
possessing the globally most spanned river course.
Eye painting is practiced by both genders
for healing ability and a cover against the sun.
Even with the myth of mummification and the awe of Giza
It is certainly true that one of its habitations
Was found to be swallowed by the sea
I am Africa, the cradle of mankind,
Where ancient footprints in the sands of time entwined,
The birthplace of humanity, divinely designed,
In my esteemed valleys, where life first aligned.
I am Africa, the cradle of civilization,
Where mighty empires rose with determination,
From the ancient Egypt's pyramids to the Great Zimbabwe walls,
From glorious Mali Empire to Kingdom of Kush, history recalls.
I am Africa, adorned with wonders untold,
From Victoria Falls, a sight to behold,
To the Serengeti, the great wildlife migration known,
The winding Nile River, nature's masterpiece shown.
I am Africa, land of majestic savannas,
Where lion roars and elephant wanders,
From Kilimanjaro's peak to the Rift Valley's floor,
Nature's grandeur timelessly spectacular, evermore.
I am Africa, rich in resources so rare,
From Congo's minerals beyond compare,
To Ghana's gold gleaming bright,
And Nigeria's oil, a source of might.
I am Africa, richly endowed with resources untold,
Diamonds, platinum, copper, and tantalum behold,
I offer fertile soils and abundant rainfall,
To sustain life's rhythm, from the great to the small.
I am Africa, proudly dark-skinned and beautiful,
Melanin-rich, skin kissed by the sun, dutiful,
From the Maasai warriors to the Zulu kings,
Cultures and values that makes a heart sings.
I am Africa, scarred by the slave trade's hand,
As ships sailed away with souls from my land,
The Atlantic's cruel passage, a harrowing tale,
Yet from that dark chapter, my resilience did prevail.
I am Africa, the sleeping lion now awake,
To reclaim my glory, no more to forsake,
I stand tall against any disdain, my destiny to behold,
Socially strong, economically stable, politically bold.
I am Africa, acknowledging and ready to confront my flaws,
To root out corruption and greed, oppressive laws,
United in accountability, good governance, equity, and might,
I march forward with determination, embracing the future's light.
Delightfully open the doors of window
Observe the creatures near the meadow
O! See those dancing damselflies
Rapture, they accord and amplify
Stop searching bliss, just open the doors, as there it is
Delightfully open the doors of your mind
Observe the diversities the societies bind
On seeing unity in diversity, good people boast
Righteously, they unite people across the coasts
Stop mocking differences, celebrate them by opening the doors, if can't just break

The honey bee let on my leg,
sensing he knew the power
of my hand. But also sensed
I he knew, the character of this
man -- he could stroll and buzz
as he liked, his calculation right --
He could stroll and buzz plainly
in sight -- equal curiosity, in our own
ways equal velocity, though neither
expressed notion to sting nor flee,
equally alive, contemplating the other's
hive.

A humiliating public ritual in a form of crime reenactment,

We are born into a Utopian world where everything lives and let lives
Politeness and manners exist as society never lets sieve
We learn to live with our neighbours amidst colours that nature has born
Living well into our tomorrows without the fear of being war-torn
Prejudice has never been heard whilst cussing never nears our ears
To walk our streets at whenever, over our shoulder you will never fear, fears
When we are born into a Utopian world where everything lives and let lives
The reason this can all come about, is purely because everyone gives
* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *
We are born from a fallopian world where reasons dictate how we live
Politeness and manner exist, sadly society has allowed them to sieve
Many learn to live with their neighbours amidst colours of nature born
Some live into their tomorrows, many enter the doors of war-torn
Prejudice appears to be worsening, cussing appears the norm
Many are scared to walk our streets as many out there have form
When we are born from the fallopian world where reasons dictate how we live
We don't enter what we hope is Utopia, many take and rarely give

The street was rolling,
with dumps of dumping,
lying,
here and there,
there and here,
I was going somewhere,
when I cited the above
and the below affair,
I saw people with masks,
but no-one really was
concerned about the equation,
which is in a mode of acceleration.
People were living in dirt and dust,
as if all their desires are flushed,
My destination resembled
& my mind got crumbled,
because,
It isn't just my nose who knows,
senses are just senses,
and they functions
without any disparities.'
Again from the shadows
Rises that scoundrel
Riding on envy
Armed with naked cynics
Dedicated not to betray
The Lord of hatred
For he is ordered
To scoff the adore
Yet he is unsure
About the shine that still hold
Eternal is the nature’s mystery
What comes in its way, becomes history.
