Man And Mother Nature

Our world is always changing
Constantly re-arranging
From ocean depths to mountain peaks
Mother Nature moves and speaks

While telling stories of our history
This is forever a mystery
Humans so bright yet so blind
Leave common sense far behind

We’re moving fast and living large
Forgetting she’s the one in charge
Surprised when she rings the bell
Putting us through hell

Mother Nature as gentle as a fawn
Mother Nature one minute as dreary as dawn
She feeds us in times of need
We must remember that she is the one in lead
