Unforgivable

The blooming Eucalyptus grew in verdant valleys
As nature compassionately nurtured us whilst,
We plotted to overthrow it.
Green was the song of the Earth.
Life danced amidst Earth
While we dreamt of a constructed world.
Of an empire where we were God.
Epochs pass,
And even the great forests of legends old
Scream in grief at their kin piled in loads.
For humanity has a mind of wheels and steel.
We stare at scarred forests roaring in wrath
A raging inferno consuming our homes
And we wonder at what we have done.
For whatever we do
Nature shall never forgive us.
