Nature

My feelings on what we're doing to this world

Nature is so fragile, why destroy it with our own hands

The more we cut trees down the more we see land

Why does money have to control our society?

We know what we are doing but we don’t care

We’re killing animals and they can only stop and stare

They can’t defend themselves when they come home to find no home

Their population goes down just as our money fades

That’s why we cut more trees day after day

For what, gas? Cigarettes? Stuff we can live without

It makes me sick to my stomach the things we do for our own pleasure

Animals are living organisms just as we are

The more we cut down the more that we scar

The scars? Are the empty land that will soon home businesses and corporations

There’s nothing we can do to stop what the “Man” controls

Ill do my parts to keep this place green

Even if it’s only one mile

Ill make this place glitter and gleam

Very true and befitting. Nowadays in the name of civilization we are cutting tree fervently as if we are the only owner of this earth. Your nature loving heart touched mine. Thank you for sharing

Beautiful and heartfelt. Your passionate tone in this work almost makes the words crumble before you could write them. Good Job. Keep growing. Kudos.

A truly remarkable poem, Grant.

I love this! Truly inspiring! I agree with you 100%

Precisely! It is clear that people are destroying nature and the world around us for such trivial reasons like oil and cigarettes and we just tear away the green that's been there for hundreds of years. People should definitely read more into this and try and help save the green.

Well, that seemed more like a story than a poem, but I like the subject. It makes people wonder about our nature and what we're doing to this world. :)

I wish more people were aware of the destructive nature of our society. Nice poem to spread awareness. Why does money have to be in control? I wonder the same thing.
