Killing Nature<\/p>\n
Birds are free to fly where they want.
\nBut, not in zoo\u2019s for people to taunt.
\nAnimals in nature will do their own thing.
\nTill man arrives with the problems they bring.
\nSea going creatures seem to do fine.
\nTill man arrives with garbage and grime.
\nEven trees grow & strive to be free.
\nTill they breathe foul air that kills the tree.
\nSame with plants, grasses & bushes too.
\nPut to their end by the likes of you.
\nA picture seems to be forming here.
\nWe are killing the planet without fear.
\nIt is time to wake up & take notice.
\nOr, soon, your flower will be a lotus.<\/p>\n
