Awesome

by dragonpoet

Sometimes nature leaves us in awe
Or gives us a sense of sobriety
At the amount of its variety.
It imbues a feeling of piety
Because it has no natural flaws
Its illnesses are started by man
By using its resources as fast as we can
And we set no future plan
will we supply the Earth's living needs?
Or hear when Mother Nature pleads?

To replace the wood we chop
Keep clean the air and water we use
So human and animal alike
Can flourish for many more years

Sometime nature leaves us in awe.
So a praiseful breath we breathe
And for a while the darkness we leave,
We finally make the needed plan
So into the future pureness can span
And nature can still leave us in awe
Because it has no flaws
