The Good Green Earth Called Nature
Good Green Earth Surrounding Me
With water running down leaves,
Where does that water come from,
why does buzzing come from bees,
That nature is pure Beauty
And man cannot explain it,
That Beauty we, see so clear,
And so we try to Cage it,
In a cage it cannot Grow
Nor will it be as Pretty,
even still the cage is made
And in we Shove that Beauty,
“Isn’t There Another Way?”
The animals Cry and Plead,
“I will Fight and Bite and Scream
Until at Last I am Freed!”,
They sang in pained unison
But soon that song grew Silent,
From men that showed their Power
With a Bullet from a Gun,
The plants have it no better,
With Few of them taking seed,
The ones that take root plenty
Are then neutered like a Weed,
so this Nature forsakes us,
Sending storm from Sea to Sea,
Burnt land with Mighty Fires,
And Cleansing us with Sickness,
Cleansing all our Wicked Deeds,
For the earth was kind to us
And gifted us with Beauty,
But we returned her Kindness
With the Greediness of Man,
So now I write to warn You
To not treat our nature So,
For if you Gift her kindness
Seeds of Friendship will be sewn,
These seeds will grow you Bird Songs,
maybe natural Bouquets,
Maybe Loving animals
will Brighten up a tough day,
There’s One thing I know for sure
This sweet nature has told me,
That when Your body joins her
Pretty flowers will appear
To comfort and console all
Who came and wept at your Name,
This is my natures story,
My Good Green Earth Surrounds Me,
Be good and Kind to nature,
So that she can Bless your Soul.

I went on a road trip last summer through the beautiful mountains in Tennessee. Starting out at the trees I got the idea for the first line and couldn’t stop. Hope you enjoy this poem as much as I did writing it
