Dear God
Let the world see a better world
soon
Humanity shamed questioned
Rare horrendous inhuman acts
Towards the ones, one with nature
Survive solely on what nature provides
Do they have to ask for permission
Do humans ever ask,
before they encroach
Speaking of boundaries for others
Defending self, raising stronger fences
Brutality of humans, does it ever stop at suffering
Building castles on, close to water bodies
Endangering ecosystems
Cursing the storms, floods and every disaster nature brings on
Today I feel shallow for my hollow words
Cause I can’t digest the fact
That a mute unsuspecting animal
Had to ingest a fruit bomb
Killing her
A tragic, silent watery grave
And the one in her womb
Shocking
Humanity shamed questioned
Will they ever trust
Yes they will, unlike us
As they are one with nature, giving, forgiving
Let the world see a better world
soon
Humanity shamed questioned
Rare horrendous inhuman acts
Towards the ones, one with nature
Survive solely on what nature provides
Do they have to ask for permission
Do humans ever ask,
before they encroach
Speaking of boundaries for others
Defending self, raising stronger fences
Brutality of humans, does it ever stop at suffering
Building castles on, close to water bodies
Endangering ecosystems
Cursing the storms, floods and every disaster nature brings on
Today I feel shallow for my hollow words
Cause I can’t digest the fact
That a mute unsuspecting animal
Had to ingest a fruit bomb
Killing her
A tragic, silent watery grave
And the one in her womb
Shocking
Humanity shamed questioned
Will they ever trust
Yes they will, unlike us
As they are one with nature, giving, forgiving
