The Earth Shook With Anger Poem by alan brown

The earth shook with anger
as they took the trees away
Never in its lifetime
had it ever been so bare
Is this how its going to stay.

The sky's broke out with thunder
and the seas rose up in pain.
But we ignored all the signs
and lived our lives the same.

The wind brought down our buildings
then covered them with snow.
How much longer us humans can survive
I don't think i'll ever know.

The rain poured down from the heavens
and flooded our streets and drains
I don't think that our planet
will ever be the same.

The last time I'd seen sunshine
was on a winters day.
But it has never yet returned
I think it died that day.

So if our little planet
is going to survive.
We need to change our wanton ways
And keep life's mysteries alive.
