Challenge
Write from the perspective of Mother Nature viewing her ruined earth
I am doing a photography exhibition in Manchester City centre (UK) and want a poem that I will record being spoken to go alongside my photographs of moorland fires, the winner will have their work displayed at the exhibition and will be credited.
Mother Nature’s Lament
From the sky I weep
For the world I love
That is burning before me
Defenseless as a dove
The world so strong
Has been brought to it's knees
By these limitless gases
Spreading like a disease
My child is in danger
The fires are the signs
Of something much worse
That is not of my design
Yet I can do nothing
I am but an observer
And the humans that can help?
They have run for cover
The humans, they continue
To harm their own home
And they will not stop
Until they are alone
