The dead are past all cares and sorrows the survivors their life's dreams destroyed <br />'Tis said that in Nature's moment of anger in Kashmir that thousands of people have died <br />She leaves behind grief and desolation great buildings toppled to the ground <br />Where Nature she loses her temper death and destruction to be found. <br /> <br />For our disrespect to Mother Nature there has to be some price to pay <br />When she flies into fits of anger she flattens everything in her way <br />Her latest earthquake in Asia proves how destructive she can be <br />Yet us humans are her benefactors since she feeds all of humanity. <br /> <br />We abuse our marvellous Mother Nature when we pollute her land, rivers and sea <br />Yet without her we would quickly die of thirst and hunger and none quite so generous as she <br />And despite her odd fits of bad temper to Humankind she is a friend <br />And her moods are so very natural since she is not one to pretend. <br /> <br />The dead they are now past all feelings from all cares and sorrows they are gone <br />And the survivors head for refugee camps and life on the Planet goes on <br />Where Nature she loses her temper destruction and sorrow are rife <br />And buildings like pancakes are flattened and there is a huge loss of life.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/where-nature-she-loses-her-temper/
