Reflections - God's Creation in Action


God's Creation in Action

God made earth, fire, wind and water
He bequeathed these that it may matter
To achieve man's end to foster
But greedy shams noble efforts do shatter
Earth yields better when rotated and rested 
Fire lights wood to feed and feel protected 
Wind like two giant hands sweeps and dusted
Water dredges debris, sundry on vast ocean is foisted
Nature doing man's work at times is frustrated
Earthquakes, forest fires, tornadoes, floods it unleashes
All the damage done by insolent man it punishes
Laying bare what was lush with gashes
The repentant man, lesson learnt, blushes
Promises to cherish what was without blemishes
Never again, he promises, to indulge in excesses
Generations pass, lessons forgotten, nature fury surfaces
The cycle of creation, denudation and destruction for ages flourishes
Our beautiful planet mother earth silently endureth.
