What We Do To Our Earth Mother Poem by Francis Duggan

Of more Natural disasters in the news each day we hear
The anger of Mother Nature it is a thing to fear
She rages through the suburbs and blows the houses down
And leaves death and destruction as she heads for another Town.

Why does Nature with us get so angry is it the things to her we do?
Since what we do to others we do to ourselves so happens to be true
When we try to poison her with pollutants the anger in her we stoke
If to her we were kinder her fury we would not provoke.

Nature does not owe us anything since to her we belong
With what I say some well may disagree but what I say not wrong
Without her we could not exist and it would be fair to say
That when we cease to breathe the air of life we'll return to her one day.

When we take Nature for granted that is our big mistake
We provoke in her great fury she revenges herself on us with an earthquake
Mother Nature is our ruler though some do not see it that way
For every wrong we do to her in kind us she repay.

Each day more Natural disasters hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and fire
When we treat Nature badly we stoke her simmering ire
What we do to Mother Nature to our own selves we do
I'm quoting from an often quoted quote that happens to be true.
