The Two Faces of Nature


Hey, cold-blooded Mankind Do you know That even when there was no sign of you, Appealing was the beauty of the Mother Earth And fresh was the milieu. The nature was lush green, and pleasing breeze blew Heavenly was the sight of the sky, where birds candidly flew. Clear were the rills and rivers, fascinating were the flowers Animals roamed freely, and sat under bowers. The mother nature bore things of all kinds That you have chosen to destroy. Mankind! Have you lost your mind? Hey, cold blooded Mankind Do you know The God took His time to craft you as the finest creation But you brought misery to the world and extreme devastation. To all life, the Mother Earth has been so compassinate and kind Due to your sinful passion, her health has declined. The almighty God bestowed upon you - virtue, faith, values and joy That you have chosen to destroy. Mankind! Have you lost your mind? Hey, cold blooded Mankind Do you know You have an insatiable desire, that is to acquire the worldly possessions Lavish life, safe loaded with money and a magnificient mansion. You contaminated everything, and exploited the natural resources Now the Mother Nature is infuriated, be ready to bear up her forces. She bore delectable fruit and vegetables, to fill your bellies But you devoured innocent birds, insects and animals with your allies Mankind! Have you lost your mind? Hey, cold blooded mankind Do you know The Mother Nature has her own ways of reminding humankind That she needs preservation and respect to produce pure wind. Now pandemics and catastrophes spreading across the globe How much worse they will become, no one knows. Now the Mother Earth is enraged, she has just begun To give vent to her fury and to shun human. It's time you pondered on the devastating situation, and heed her actions Let not contentment and greed become your distractions. So open your eyes, Mankind! Once, and respect the Mother Earth Has she not provided you all that you needed since your birth? But the harsh reality is that you have made up your mind to destroy everything. Cold blooded Mankind! You have lost your mind.
