Forces Of The Earth Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Forces Of The Earth

Rating: 5.0


Forces of the earth
beyond our control
we can only wait and see
what each rotation will bring

We can kill
we can steal
we can pray
but we can never
control the earth

Dear sir, you have very rightly surmised the psychosis of common man after witnessing devastating effects of Sandy a nature's wrath. True we can not control the effects of the rotation of earth but if we decide we can reduce the damage by preserving the ecological balance n respecting the nature. I invite u to read my epic of life-26 in particular and other episodes on the theme highlighting man's tug of war with nature n it's impact.
