The forest fires
Rage if Nature so desires—
The nature, ever so discreet,
A way has to limit it.
But not a man-made fire
Caused by man's burning desire,
A fire that started in man's mind
And fuelled by greed purblind!
World's money bags are watching,
Witless for morrows waiting,
The morrow's moral creed
Pays tithe for today's burning greed.
Dinosaurs by asteroid were destroyed,
Men arrogant write their own death warrant!

But not a man-made fire Caused by man's burning desire, A fire that started in man's mind And fueled by greed purblind! ? ? ? ? ? sorry not crystal clear to me as your other poetry A P ji
Please do let me know if you are still not satisfied. Perhaps a comma after the fourth line instead of a full stop would have helped.
You have to read it along with the earlier lines. Forest fires are often natural aimed at renewal. And nature has a way to restrict them, but not such fires cause by man's greed. This is a poem on current happening and you must have been reading on what all did happen and how. I always appreciate such questioning feedback, and must thank you dear PP.
