Nature on the Run
Nature on the run
In a great killing spree;
Chainsaws, chemicals and bullets
By political decree.
Rainforests – the lungs
Of the world –
In danger of choking
As all the trees are felled.
Displaced creatures
Crawl off to die.
As thoughtless greed
Threatens you and I.
Opher – 8.7.2019
There is a great madness at work as we continue to plunder and pillage nature without a thought for the future.
Species after species is sent tumbling to extinction so that executives of corporations and politicians can live in luxury.
Without a thought for tree or creature we are ripping up the world.
