Your Turn: ‘Mother Nature’s Wrath’

Mother Nature’s Wrath

   By Ellen Mason, Stony Brook

Mother Nature is angry

And she’s showing her wrath. 

We’ve destroyed her best efforts,

Walking down this wrong path. 

Our health is at stake,

And the health of our earth. 

But we’ve not done enough 

To make up for this dearth. 

Water pollution,

Severe climate change,

Endangered species,

There’s a whole range

Of needed improvements

For what we have wrought.  

We’ve squandered our riches,

And look what we’ve bought!

Yes we’ll get through this,

She’s stern but not cruel. 

But we must pay attention

And live by new rules.
