When trouble comes, it comes in waves
Lashing out in fury
Devouring everything in its way
Nature’s backlash, waves of distress
It’s the way it’s always been
Or is it just what we mankind made
Or is it the ferocious nature
That nature learnt from us?
Having it all and wanting more
Greed, gargantuan, lusting after it all
Leaving precious nothing
Having pillaged everything and looted the world
Is there a way to reverse all that we’ve done?
Set the clock ticking backwards
And hope that those days will come
It’s just a foolish fantasy, a hope, a wish
When the rivers have dried
And the plants have perished
And when the earth is laid desolate and bare
Some memories should be there to keep us hoping
M V J Simon 2011
