Mother Nature weeps Her eyes of comfort and compassion growing dim Her beloved and children from all corners turning on themselves Turning on her and her beauty Trees cut down Built bridges and bushes burning deep wild and free Devastation and war in the most innocent of places Death on the rise as greed and lust flow free With heavy blood now easily shed Childhood has lost its innocence Old age knows now only disdain Hate is now on the rise as war strides high as power The need to see and hear overcome by guns and drugs Peace now on the back burner Evil and anger Rape and malice Roaming as lords and kings among trees and leaves Whispering deceit blaspheme and incurable incest Humanity is fast dying Love lost in the heart of mankind

Awesome, Boomie. She does weep, and we should listen to her.
I sure hope we do…it feels like we are going from bad to worse fast. God help us.
Thanks sis

Thank you, Boomie. May love and peace soon be restored, justice and fairness become the norm, and answers to tough questions soon be found.

One of your most moving poems yet Boomie. This is one that I would wish to see in that first book of poetry of yours.
We have to hold on to that single drop of love to save humanity. Powerful writing Boomiebol.
We really have to, thanks so much
A little too much truth in that one. Wow!

Thank you sir!!! I read somewhere recently in a children’s book that sometimes the truth can be dangerous
Sometimes, I am certain it can!
