MOTHERNATURE GROANS IN PAIN
The earth groans in awesome pain
Her children losing all their gain
The heat of a scorching sun she receives
The tildes of its rushing water-tears striking hard like diseases
We do not heed but she groans with pain
Noisome pestilence interlude her calm silence
Mother- nature tries to brawl back with strong résistance
Her vengeance come and we are taken aback
With Tsunami, earthquakes, eruptions and flood she attacks
She is left with no other choice while she groans with pain.
To her many question we give no answer
But to her various rebuke we run and scamper
Most times- of her, we have many different thoughts
Like a child chastised looks up to his mother and hurt
We forget that to our good only but she groans in pain
The gulf between two extremes we can’t explain
Love and care mixed with hate and rage- we complain
She shelters us like a mother wraps her warmth around a child
Yet in a twinkle of time she pounce on same like a lion in the wild
Switching between mild and hostility she groans in pain
Variation between shelter and shatter Mother-nature groans in pain
Yet we turn our back with nonchalance and unguided strain.
She groans loud and we do not care rather we dare
Mother-nature fights back in defence then we’re left bare
With misty eyes and broken heart she groans in pain.
Fragile mother -nature groans in awesome pain
She is pain and seeks our help rather we look for gain
Mother-nature weeps in pain yet we act plain
She groans in pain for attention but we complain
With time- ticking on the bomb she groans in pain
