Mother Nature's Response

And her crafts

Hear the plants screams

Look at the grass.

Hear the trees cry

As Mankind scoffs

Laughs

As if

He had

Nothing to do with this.

Bitter surrender

Feel a trees' death

Look at its lines

Where it starts

Where it ends.

Watch the leaves fall

Not just in

Fall or autumn

But instead

All four seasons.

A bittersweet

Kiss and say goodbye

A weeds' tears

After endless years,

Wonders why

If others are still around

For Mother Nature;

Then why am I

No longer to be found?

A new twist:

No more rest areas

Will we need!

Not fond memories

Will this one bring.

That is because

Mother Nature is not forgiving.

She feels the grasses fierce heat,

She knows the Forest Parks dream

Will soon turn into

A towering inferno!

Without a warning, though

And quicker than Mother Nature...

Is mankind's reckless,

And carelessness behavior.

Stand by him if you dare.

Watch him

As his destruction

Causes worse damage

In our hemisphere.

He does not care.

Worse times ahead:

Man will not change.

He will find other ways

To bring in the pollution

That eventually will threaten

Our own evolution.

It is already past the time

For Trains, buses

Automobiles or carpools

Because why spend so much money

On transportation and Infrastructure

When the people

Will not be alive to buy

The products tomorrow?

One last attempt

Before we test fate:

Man knows that soon

It will be too late

So here are

His only choices left:

Electric cars

Or diesel fuel.

Only a fool

Would take

The latter,

Proving once again

To Mother Nature

That this stuff still

Did not matter.

Man's fate

Finally arrives

This time at his own front door.

He still ignores!

Hemisphere and ozone layer

Penetrated

Thus, causing new storms.

Ozone layer from the past

That used to protect our lives,

Now it ceases to exist.

Mankind still does not realize

There is no time left for dress rehearsal.

This time the emergence

Was of a different sort.

It came without an antidote.

We needed no war

To cause our end.

We just needed to follow

Mankind's thinking!

One would wonder why

No one has looked into this.

How can all just sit idly by

As Man eats away petroleum oil

Manipulates Supply and demand

When all this goes up

Into our skies.

Why do we let Man

Get away with this?

Why do not us

Ever think in advance

Perhaps better our chance

To stay in this land

And increase our odds

For us to survive?

Has anyone contemplated this?

The hole that we dig today

Will result

In tomorrow's sorrow.

The neglect we repeat today

Will create havoc and ruin tomorrow.
