On The Goddess Of Nature Poem by Francis Duggan

So many years I've known her yet so little of her know
Yet my love for her does not lessen it only seems to grow
Amazing Mother Nature her beauty everywhere
The Goddess of this Planet Earth none with her to compare
All of the World's life forms live off of her for our survival her we do need
The Goddess of every life form since every life form she does feed
Billions of people adore their unseen Gods and to their unseen Gods they do pray
Yet the visible Goddess of Nature her beauty we see every day
But us humans choose to abuse her and her rivers and seas we pollute
And when we pollute the air we breathe in 'tis our own selves we do persecute
The Polar ice caps they are melting and sea levels are beginning to rise
Our continuous reliance on fossil fuels on our behalf does not seem wise,
So many years I've loved and admired her yet in ways she is a stranger to me
Her presence it is all around me and of her I like what I see.
