ON TALKING TO NATURE
Tell me Mother Nature, do we humans treat you well,
Are we worthy of the honour on this earth to dwell,
Do we realize the responsibility that is ours to rule,
Or are we destroying life by playing being the fool?
We have to have places to live and clothes to wear,
We have to eat and have fun in the world out there.
But tell me Mother Nature have we gone now too far,
Have we by thoughtlessness this planet forever mar?
Oh noble human, yes some of you try and others care,
Some are so greedy that nothing to them does compare
To riches and making lots of money to put in the bank,
Those are they who deeply into Satan’s army have sank.
Many acres of farmland needed for homes what do we do?
We need the food and cattle but homes are important too.
Human child God gave you wisdom to choose the right,
We are just your servant to try and work will all our might.
Nature is important, go look at every pretty flower and tree,
Make sure they are replenished faster or one day you say see
A great desert instead of fields and forests rich and green,
And that’s when all will think of what ought to have been.
I am only nature and I need the human race to try and care,
Be wise enough to rule as God would do, stand out and dare
To choose the right then one day you won’t be ashamed
For to keep the world truly lovely you constantly aimed.
