Can Nature Survive.

Poetic Licence


Notice of absence from Poetic Licence
They Think It Is All Over.
Sad to say it is now.
Take Care.

The lakes are shrinking; forests the life blood declining.
Indigenous homes and people removed, forced into hiding.
Season temperatures around the world constantly rising.
Some Beautiful Creatures of nature are barely surviving.
The oil holes drill deeper and wider into natures heart.
As the continue greed of man tears this wonderful planet apart.
Can nature on this planet survive the pounding it's taking.
To lose the Wonder and beauty of nature would just be heartbreaking.


As fires burn
Floods invade
Famine disease
How much to take
Man is sat
Upon his hands
In pursuit of greed
These shifting sands.


Can it survive?
The world is dying,
Human are dying.
Can nature survive?
Trees are now cut down,
Like innocent victims of death.
Soil are now been covered,
With tiles, can nature survive?
Can it survive this harsh world?
Where humans can't even survive,
And animals cry each day for freedom.
Can nature survive?


.


Oh, Nature, humans seek to control you,
Depleting your beauty to gain wealth, they dodge you.
Oh, Nature, you are full of love and motherly care,
Yet human greed, blinded by wealth, dares to impair.
Oh, Nature, your treasures are sold for fleeting gain,
Day and night, human greed endangers your domain.
Oh, Nature, to swell their ceaseless bank balance,
Capitalists rend you, disrupting your balance.
Oh, Nature, you are omnipotent, none can defeat you,
When you restore balance, civilizations bow before you.


A guttural scream makes the forest tremble
an enraged trombone awakens in a bad mood
the guardian spirit of the bowels of the mud
opens his bright, scarlet emerald eyes
freezes fear in his wake
spitting out seas and thunder, he begins
today is the day, Mangangá's revenge finally arrives
every dead man is one less murderer in his heart.


Mother, we hear your cry
In the great abyss that is our soul
We grasp at the air
Attempting to save you, save ourselves
From the burgeoning storms we have fraught with our idiocy
Too much hatred, too much pain
We have forgotten how to love


CAN WE SURVIVE?
For how long will we remain,
devouring life we barely understand?
Human plague upon this earth,
destroying others first, then ourselves.
oh we are coy, hold power to untangle universes,
yet prefer to scorch forests, poison rivers,
and crush the beauty we cannot tame.
Oh,how blind and cruel we remain
can nature endure what we sustain?


[For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it." Romans 8:22-25]
We mourn our closest members' injuries
Decry the sufferings of others, yet don't see
The bigger picture unfolding before our eyes
This whole creation of which we're part oh aye,
Waits as we do ourselves, for Thy return oh LORD.
Give us is't patience to endure whileas we mourn,
That we may likewise thus rejoice when all else too
Redeemed at last, joy in that day we are with You.


Nature sounds of the birds chirping
maybe hatred from mothers sacred symbols of failure
the horizontals of horizon arise my dear Sader mate
comrades from within as we move far from the wind
the mishaps of gen 0 mishaps of the men
as we move farther and farther will the loves wind
come between what we may have sinned
take care of what's meant to be and here come what we shall live thats we
survival is a must the throttles of earth's crust let's begin to pray as the winds fall
I lay


*****
Nature fights back
As long as it can.
It fights in its own way.
When all is barren,
All is lost,
People have to move elsewhere
And leave nature to itself.
That be the turning point.
Little by little nature reclaims
Its right.
In Saudi Arabia there were floods...
During Covid,
When lockdown was forced,
Towns became deserted.
Animals sensed it :
They moved in and wandered
Through streets, parks,
In towns...
An apparent barren land
Little by little is covered by grass,
Shrubs that no one knows
Whence they came from...
Nature fights back...
After the nuclear explosion in Russia,
Animals have returned...
(SR. 20.8.2025)

(Nature's artists in grief)
Pink petals stolen, no pearls on leaves
O mother, your offsrings became thieves
Ruined the abode, where survive the spring
Litter drowned in flood,the goldsmith boring
Machines silenced tunings, mourning rivers
Nocturnal in death beds, in nights no whispers
Nature's screaming......
O my sons, rise , rise
I'm innocent, you're wise
In my lap , you play and grow
Let me survive and return my glow

      Roots clutch the soil beneath a sky turned pale,
      storms carve the hills where old winds used to sail.
      Branches twist upward through smoke and through rain,
      rivers run thinner, yet whisper the same refrain.
      Shadows may gather, but still the green will strive—
      a quiet defiance, forever fighting to stay alive.
