Analysis of Nature bleeds



When you make me bleed
With your waste and pollute me
You hold a gun to my head
You are killing me can't you see
I'm giving you all,
yet you take as you like
i am a gentle soul,
that wants to be awed,
Like a lady dressed in fine lin,
Hair made up with a pin,
Notice my wounds,
Take care of my most vulnerable needs.
I am a gift that keeps on giving,
But smother me with poisoning
and my supply might run out,
Leaving me dead and pointless,
without a doubt.
Take care of me,
Like I want to take care of you,
When nature bleeds,
Remember who holds the gun.

About this poem

From nature's POV. Nature is being taken for granted, and underappreciated, and polluted, and we keep on destroying it daily.
