Nature??????

I hear the birds longingly cry,
as they wave their homes good bye.
I see the tall trees as they begin to rot,
we need the trees, as you may have forgot.
I sense the wind as it silently flows by,
as it carries waste, I see with my own eye.
where is the fresh, crystal clear water?
All I see is rubbish piles getting taller and stronger.
Just like the footprints on the sandy beaches fade away,
I guess the beautiful nature is not here to stay.
Open your eyes wide, do you not see what you are doing?
Mother nature is watching, who do you think you are fooling?
Every day we are destroying a part of this beautiful nature,
stop the nonsense now, or we will have no future.
If we all take part in doing what is right,
we will not have to give up this beautiful sight.
