Nature

Life Sitting in agentle tree

Watching the seasons go by

It is all I need
Yet a tear stings my eyes

I start from my haven
Looking out from my porch

Depressing at what can't be
Gazing at what we wish it to be

I see fire raging
Across a hilly plain

I see trees become a page
And guns causing pain

The shortness of life is like a drop of ink So sad and much pain
When it ends we will never be able to link. Our will to care shows no avail
Like gentle rain

The world follows its dream Becoming fierce hail
Deep inside they hear the heart scream
Nature is filled with serenity

With every word as loud as desire Get filled with the untamed wild
To any extent goes like a bonfire Nature is filled with love

Yet is filled with hate
