Beautiful Nature?

All the swaying bright green grass

And all the tender fruits

And every brilliant butterfly

With golden wings spotted with dew

Every single kitten's purr

And fluffy tail of squirrel

And hot, yellow summer sun

Make nature horrible.

 

Now, it sounds like I'm depressed

Emo, you cloud say.

But believe me, I am not

I just see things as they are.

 

The itchy grass gives me a rash

Fruit rots,

bringing fruit flies,

buzzing and nasty.

A single butterfly can move a single wing

And miles away,

that tiny puff of air

Turns into a hurricane,

destroying lives and homes.

And that kitten?

Well, it grows up,

it scratches you,

The cat gets into catfights,

scratched and scarred forever

In this horrible world.

And squirrels are easy prey

for viscous dogs and beasts alike

Ripping entrails

all over your porch,

****** and furry.

And that crippling sun!

It burns my very flesh!

It stings with a scarring pain.

And it doesn't stop when I leave the wrath of the blistering ball of fire,

I have this burn

For weeks and weeks,

all over my body!

What a cruel reality!

I'm staying inside.

Nature is horrible.
