If you could see what Nature sees
There lives a forest past those trees
Where Nature and its wildlife thrives
Despite that we disturb their lives
They feed the creatures, seal some’s fate
They try to pet them, don’t think straight
Yes, people and the wildlife clash
By leaving garbage, leaving trash
Let’s all respect the great outdoors
For ALL our pleasure, not just yours
For hiking, camping, fishing holes
These outdoor things renew our souls
There’s always those who cross the line
They spread their loved ones, build a shrine
For those who keep on tempting fate
Let’s hope that karma sets you straight
When you treat Nature without care
Is that when Nature sends a bear
So be aware the things you do
The forest keeps an eye on you

I’ve been writing poetry (rhyming mostly) since about 2014 and have recently transitioned to writing novels and short stories. My poetry genres are faith, humor, social issues, politics, pretty much any subject matter.
