Beauty's Grave

AL17

An immaculate motherland,

Now soiled with  disgrace,

Stripped of her riches,

Clad in our waste.

 

The untamed atrocity,

That obliterated all splendour,

That cursed all creation,

What dishonour was rendered!

 

An embodiment of magnificence,

A mother to the brave,

Cursed with a race,

That made her beauty's grave.

    Indeed mother nature has truely suffered at the hands of man, we are only care takers so maybe it is time we all showed the world some care. Lovely poem.

      I agree completely! Thank you:)

      Something tells me, mother nature is fighting back and will definitely win in the end.

        Absolutely Paul, it's only a matter of time. If we can't develop sustainably, we are sure to lose this fight.
        Thanks for your comment:)

          Are we reckless
          Are we ignorant
          We don’t love the hands that nurtures and take it for granted
          And when she is angry, we blame her
          Not realising how much did we hurt
          Very insightful and necessary lines
          Thanks a lot dear poet for shedding light
