Man versus Nature


The woods were silent,
The night was dark,
Breeze rustled the leaves,
Fear,had made its mark.

My safari had crashed,
I was all alone.
In the lap of mother nature,
A stranger seeking home.

An uninvited guest,
Was treated like a son.
My mother nature fed me,
Fruits - rich and plum.

I quenched my thirst,
At a pure cold stream.
And caressed me to sleep,
With a swift cool breeze.

So where is the tussle?
I question,I Ask.

A choked river gurgled,
A wasteland cried.
Each axe on tree,
Made it bleed.
Oil spills in vast oceans are dreaded,
Animals chased by poachers pleaded.

Noises we hear,
Enjoy music of choice.
BUT We have gone deaf,
To nature's voice.
Its crying for help,
And we turn the other way.
A child may do that,
Single word won't mother say.

She'll always give and care,
Never,ever demand.
Love is what she wants,
From every son on land.
