So you built your houses, harvested your food,
earned your wealth and bore your brood.
You sold your sweat, and tears for a cost,
never a thought to the one who really lost.
Now as you rest in your final recline,
With empty hearts, hands that never declined,
The hour has come, to repay your debt,
I am Nature, you owe me a death.

When I started reading I found it just another rhyming piece; but the last line really got me. Short but really, strong.
ReplyDeleteHey Oly, thanks for reading :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, to be frank myself seldom consider any 'poem' I write, to be anything more than just another rhyme scheme. But, aren't we all learning? :) I'm really glad you liked Nature, hope to get better.
