Is not what is
In natures bosom
A wealth that yield
Perennial dividends
Shall we destroy nature’s wealth
To build our own
Which lost ephemeral.
Is not flowing river
An invaluable wealth
Until interfered
Made murky
Turning song of joy into sorrow.
Cuckoos song
Lost its flavor
Breathing air tainted
Is not this loss irreparable?
The wealth created
Never compensates the lost jewels.
Hills lost,
So does the glacier
Sea encroached into the land
Natures green is lost
Humans brown faded
No one is winner in the end
When one plunders natures wealth.
Author notes
Nothing is gained by destroying nature

very good
i like the beginning
asking a question
i'm a nature kinda guy
and
it's a shame
such beauty
of course, we must harvest the fruits of nature to survive
agriculture, unfortunately-trees, fish from the sea
but
i get the sense that a lot of it is greed
do we really need to reap from nature
and
not replenish

tons of things come to mind - which is an excellent component to poetry i feel . and I agree whole heartdly with the last couple of lines .
keep penning
glass fingers -
The pure unadulterated beauty of this piece lies in its truth and philosophy of life which has been taken over control by your muse. The description and concept of the words flowing across the page have been gently pushed to the forefront to reveal an all too peculiar phenomena, which is known as life. Indeed this a great write.
