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.
