Mother Nature's Crying

poem by: Edward Shields
Written on Dec 24, 2016 

Mountains of green, hills of brown.
See the beauty on the ground.
A grand sight to be seen.
A flicker of light, in between.

Butterfly's and bee's, float with ease.
As you watch, in the summer breeze.
We and nature, share that bond.
Like, light reflecting on the pond.

The birds in flight, catch my sight.
As they fly in the light.
Animals running here and there.
The smell of nature, in the air.

Generations will come and go.
Killing the rivers, and stopping there flow.
Something so majestic, dirty and dry.
Makes the strong, weep and cry.

Burning bush, and black smoke.
Making you cough, and making you choke.
Seeing the land stripped, and bare.
And sounds of chainsaws everywhere.

We have to stop, our wicked way.
We may only have, A year! A day!
Stop the chaos, Stop the lie's.
Before Mother Nature, finally die's!!!

Brilliant poem, but the apostrophes are misused. Should be plural bees and butterflies, no apostrophe.
Martyn Grindrod commented:
Well constructed. Enjoyable

Grammatical errors can be boldy seen especially the misusage of plural forms of words.

Can you stop writing flamboyant and hateful comments on my work? Your comments on my works are very differentiated; you comment unnecessary things that are hateful and I'm just giving you feedback to make your piece more beautiful. If you think this is a hate comment again, there's something gonna happen. Please understand that evaluations and harrassments are contrary subjects.

Arch angel. Don't cry when someone comments on your work, after you attacked their work first. My one poem got twelve comments. I've read all seven of your poems, all your poems put together only got five!!!
Geoffrey Brewer commented:
An nice poem - clear, well worded and constructed with an appealing message. But who are the 'We' and what are the 'lies'? The world may be changing; it always has; and we deplore some of those changes, but I doubt if Mother Nature is as fragile as you suggest.
Maria Williams commented:
I think whatever humans throw at it, Mother Earth will fix herself in her own time and at her own pace, and if she takes some of us along for the ride , so be it.Lol!! I like you work though. Great expression.
