The leaves have abandoned the trees
Are they cold?
Leopard with out its spots
Does it still feel superior?
Fog that consumed a landscape
Were the clouds feeling lonely?
The snow flake that has a twin
Betrayment of winter
Birds that are tired of making the effort to fly
Perhaps there's more action on the ground
Flowers that are losing their petals faster than they can be replaced
Does anyone sympathize when the sea cries?
Has the sun been on antidepressants since the beginning of time?
Do plants ever wonder what food tastes like?
All that effort and not even a bite?
Natural disasters are Mother Natures rebellious clean up crew
Their the mafia of the nature world
Saying 'don't screw with us'
Only difference being, one has mere strands of hair
While others have a luxurious coat
No wonder why we steal from them
