For months now, covid-19 has been ruining our lives,
Maybe it's just a way to make us realize,
A way to make us open our eyes,
To see and feel the wounds of the ones suffering inside..

For years mankind has been ruling on earth,
Treating everything else in a way never deserved,
Maybe for us, karma had this in reserve..
Not able to go out is getting on our nerves..

What about those animals who are always caged?
And those on the roads who are regularly savaged?
Mankind has caused a lot of damage,
So many that it provoked nature to be outraged..

They say that we reap what we sow,
And all we've been doing is destruction in a row..
Because of mankind, nature is running low..
And it tends to be worst the further we go..

Nature has been here since forever,
And we will no longer exist without her..
How can we pray to god for a better world,
When we are the only ones making it bitter?

The solution is simple,
In order to last longer than a burning candle..
In harmony we must settle,
Whether it is with the animals..
Poor people,
With the nature,
Because this should have been our culture..
Not killing or ignoring the others just to be superior..

We all contribute to the well-being of this world,
Letting one element down is like driving a car with a wheel punctured..
Protect mother nature and her love we will earn..
Provoke mother nature and we will continue getting the punishment we deserve..
