NATURE SPEAKS

Nature speaks through many a mouth
…that humans throw south
But we must take their cautions
…and heed to their instructions

II
A stone can wake to break
A tree can battle winds to break
Earth can battle other forces to shake
Rains can gather to lives take
Volcanoes can errupt to lives take
Seas can roar to lives take
So let’s heed to nature’s instructions

III
Keep stone heat in check as it should be
Let trees have their many siblings when need be
Listen to the heart of the earth in order to its heartbeat know
Give water their needed pathways so they don’t kowtow
…to the dictates of rebellion
For none can stand the fury of their rebellion

IV
The strength of nature parallels not that of humans
So let’s master in caution
Tone down on littering and mineral extortion
Plant what we cut
And build not on water ways to have their movement shut
We are how we handle nature
And nature lives best with they who manage well its structure
