The Forces of Nature Rising, falling, crashing to the shore.
Watch the waves swish and frolic, hear the waves roar.
Bounding, dashing, finding its way.
The antelope cries, for predator finds prey.
Silent, sleeping, hidden from snow,
the brown bear is hibernating from its head to its toe.
Hot, blazing, dancing in the cloudless sky,
the sun just visible to our watchful eye.
Leaping, landing, a flawless jump.
The bull frog sits up on his mossy tree stump.
The man. Away he hacks,
with his freshly sharpened ax.
Destroying nature one step at a time.
The thing he is doing is simply not fine.
Polluting our nature. Every tree, every vine.
And when he is finished the world will no longer be divine.
We need to step up and stop the hate,
giving the earth time to rejuvenate.
