Nature Strikes Back

Make way for the 11-year old Rica. Sorry if you don't like it, I was only 11 . . . or maybe 10. I forgot.

REALITY OF NATURE

What have we done?

Why can't we work as one?

We just waste time,

Like people waste dime.

The reality of nature, 

It's destroying our future.

Why were we so careless?

And now so heartless.

Now, nature is striking back,

Because care is what it lacks.

Disaster is what we've done,

And for this, will we be gone?

Yes, it's real,

Why can't you feel?

We were so careless

Now we should be fearless,

As nature slowly strikes back.

Author's Note

Unedited. Horay for the 10 or 11-year old me. I was so into nature back then, I still am, actually. Tell me what you think?

well, the rhymeing's kinda forced, especially "time" and "dime". but considering that you wrote this when you were still 10-11 yrs. old, it's pretty good.

well done! telling it how it is about the abuse of mother earth and in delicate yet forceful fashion. good job!
