a
lovely
dragonfly
hovers over
a fragrant lotus,
that grows in the floodplains.
The dragonfly sniffs the spice
that emanates from the lotus,
darts here and there in search of nectar.
A frog attacks, the dragonfly escapes.

weather... restricted
yet people turn a blind eye
innocents suffer
weather cannot see
a natural phenomenon
pollution effects
humans have reason
yet still don't understand
jeopardising lives
we pollute... which kills
live on the banks of rivers
expect to survive
now knowing the facts
living in denial... why
natures rights to clean
malice... no intent
four seasons... man only named
can never contain
wildlife takes its lead
follows weather... placates needs
yet humans don't heed
life on a mountain
wildlife adapt... sense danger
instinctive feelings
man has never learned
lives on the ground of floodplains
stilts... no... stilted minds
