Nature vs Human

Recklessly you cut the trees to create concrete jungles 

Mercilessly you converted the rivers into overflowing gutters

Proudly you demonstrated the vibrantly coloured plastics 

You put nature to the ultimate test

And thought that you had become

The masters of this universe 

But today you are

Running around to get a breath of fresh air

Shelling out hundreds to get a sip of pure drinking water

Trying hard to find a way to throw carcinogens out of your food chain

Still not realising what a heavy price you have paid 

Oh, pretentious humans

Wake up before it’s too late
