Nature Now Reclaims
Howling wind sings to the sky
It’s echo slams back rejoicing
The mountains escap ev’ry eye
Clapping, it’s thunder voicing
The lies that they speak
And the hearts that weep
Creating scars that run so deep
Like a soul that never sleeps,
Nature wants to break and keep
The pieces of our flower beds
Until we all lose our heads
The waves will crash and they will bend
Swirling us until we end
Transforming this stricken race
Into something without a brace
A crippled species of broken dreams
and our hope tearing at the seams
The storms will destroy what we need
but want and hunger have to feed
And our doubts will fill with greed
a torturous form that makes us bleed
With fake smiles and iron cells
No one now rings the bells
The freedom cannot- will not stay
with our knowledge so far away
Mother, please; just leave us be
But nature doesn’t beg and plead
It’s too late now to fix our flaws
Forever we rest without applause
The time has come for us to go
Through a blizzard of mud and snow
