Consider all the pangs to which our planet is subjected, such as the evidence of global warming, the carbon dioxide, spreading around in the atmosphere, the endless pollution that surrounds us, all of which may be summed up in one word – “ingratitude, on the part of humans.”
Listlessly, the time drags on;
the heat of the sun’s inclement force
scorches the earth and sears the lawn,
with no compassion or remorse;
the firmament appears divorced
from every cloud;
sparrows nesting so forlorn!
as if Nature has sorely vowed
to let her anger loose upon
spoilers of her erstwhile plan;
the belly of the tortured earth is full
of the poisonous acts of man;
not until the sun must set
the burden of the mournful dirge
of Earth is eased, but soon,
another day arrives, another scourge,
another cry of Nature woebegone!
as life on Earth advances on and on,
and with it all the foibles of man
that are his painful legacy
to those that are as yet unborn.
whose privileges tomorrow
may be gone!
