Natures Revenge

Natures Revenge  


Man asked nature 
"What have you done to me 
Mortified my body and turned me into a tree" 
Mother nature answered in her defense, 
Clogging my planet with acidic, Carboniferous, filthy, spew, 
As the planet's mother, what else could I do?
now you can feel the effects of your carelessness 
See all the suffering your greed has caused, all the duress!" 
But man asked Mother Nature "what shall I consume?" 
Mother Nature replied 
with a sigh 
"You my dear will soon become a broom!"

    the broom thing totally ties in with the poem before your post "season of" coincidence?

    i like this. we need more environment and pro-animal poetry out there, to get the message out.

    We have abused the trust of Mother nature. How else can we make amends. We suffer first as a broom? Great write!

    Excellent write! Nice cycle of things if we become a broom and are used to clean up our own mess!

    neat piece here.
    I like the conversation between Man and Mother Nature.
    some philosophical wit imbued.
    good job.
