The power of life
By Shaily H
The power of life shows itself to us
In flowers growing through cracks in cement
And forests living through bushfires
But the power of life
Is not as strong as it was
Why should it be?
When all that is left is more.
More drought
More fires
More death - Why should the earth keep trying?
And yet it does.
The stars keep shining on
As if celebrating humankind's mistakes
And the animals keep living
As if for our enjoyment
So that we can gaze upon the world's beauty
And not worry
About what we are doing
To break it.
