Mystery Unbound

 

 

Mystery Unbound

 

Mystery unbound

Seeking evidence you'll find

Judgment for the crime

 

Strips away top soil

Erosion of the landscape

Mother Nature cries

 

In a barren land

No trees or flowers grow here

In this unkempt world

 

The culprit we know

Cuts down trees and doesn't plant

Raping our planet

 

Judges gavel cracks

Good, the prosecution's case

We're guilty as charged

 

Sentence handed down

Spread the seeds throughout the land

Watch a seedling grow

 

Not a mystery now

Tend the gardens God bestowed

See a world that's green

Nancy, your message comes across wonderfully both with words and photos. I really like how you took the time to arrange the stanzas in a visually creative way. The gardener and conservationist in me appreciates this poem very much. Sharon
