It may be damaging
to the environment
I concede that
I'm on your side too!
But the same cannot
be said of others
Humankind are most unkind
I have been through a lot
And it had been a long time
My patience is fully tested
I have a legitimate right
to survive and to be heard
It is not an ego thing
You have got to believe me
I have to persist
We face obstacles all the way
Dams restrict our natural progress
Layers of hard rocks are no help
Yes, we turn ourselves into scenic waterfalls
But otherwise we are dead
We have not even touched on pollution
Waterways ought to be given their due respect
Is it too much to ask?
Written for 3WW with words, damaging, ego, legitimate
Sadly humans do destroy nature over and over, a little respect for it would go a long way. #1 at your bay.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not too much to ask. And if humans do ask, the answer can be harsh.
ReplyDeleteugh so true...we shape them to our will....and ruin them in our 'care'...rather disgusting the way we treat our world
ReplyDeleteI so much agree with you!! Tampering with nature has its own set of calamities and disasters,c the onus of responsibility lies with us!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful spot, too bad we ruin it.
ReplyDeleteI have long ago given up on "humankind", Hank. We are indeed unkind, and we are sowing the seeds of our own destruction. I don't worry for my own sake, but for the sake of the little ones who will not have the beautiful planet you and I grew up with.
