Nature's End

As lakes pollute and trees are taken down

All you can see are rivers turning brown

Animals forced to hide and flee

While we watch on in glee

Creating an arena of emptiness and death

Forcing animals to take in their final breath

Making once-strong-standing trees fall to the ground

As flowers become hunched forward, as if downed

Filling skies with grey, dark smoke

Creating an atmosphere where it's hard not to choke

Corpses from the sea rise up to the shore

Scaring children with all the gore

As flowers become a rarity and trees scarce

Once animals are suffering and nature leaves in big parts

As forests and woodlands have now become empty

And are now just as empty as a cemetery

Only once that has all occurred will we realise

Just what was missing from all our sights

If only we thought before we made nature our foe

Oh, if only before all this we had known
