The Cries of Mother Nature

Land of bright colour
Land of beautiful and peaceful life
Healthy plants’ bearings
But then the animal struggles to strife
Land of pollution
Land of harsh, overwhelming death
Visible manmade rubbish
Scars of manmade scraps
Mother Earth’s ire
The world set ablaze with dancing fire
Scathing hot, frigid cold
Already swallowing her entirety
Toxins she consumes
Poisoned water and diminishing breaths
Heavy gases, clogged mess
Gorging resentfully on artificial trash
But if we stop the torment
Reducing our careless discards
We will allow them to thrive
We will alleviate their pain
