The Decadence of Nature

“Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better.” 
Albert Einstein

                                          Nature`s Decadence
 
                          Erelong on the western fringe of my village
                            Stood since span of time a pristine forest
                               Cherished by nature-lovers of all age,
                               From the very oldest to the youngest.

                             It served as a catchment for steady rain,
                          Perfused the village with fresh and sweet air,
                             Served as resting haven for weary swains
                         And a scenery at which sight-seers could stare.

                             Now the forest has been vilely conquered
                        By concrete buildings of all shapes and heights,
                         With all the native trees and plants plundered,
                              And from nature pilfered a unique sight.

                           Beware men of sense, nature`s decadence
                           That over time threatens man`s existence.
