Nature is like nothing else
It's waking and feeling the soft morning sun
It's sleeping to the ghostly moans of the wind
Nature is evergreen and plentiful
It's bone chilling, gleaming white ice sheets
It's burning sands between your toes
Nature is tyrrantial and unforgiving
It's winds that blow away whole towns
It's waves sweeping men off their feet
Nature is all the Earth and the sky
It's the weird and wonderful shapes of the billowing clouds
It's collosal canopies blocking out sunlight from above
Nature is evergrowing, all consuming beauty
Nature is everything
So I plead, please do not destroy it
