What of nature is of worth? <br />When Destroyed by inhuman dearth, <br />Such inglorious butchers they could be! <br />Of thy beauty they cannot see, <br /> <br />Not only of beauty, but! Of worth, <br />That your body is precious, Oh! Mother earth, <br /> <br />The conservation of you, <br />Is the preservation of me! <br />Yet! Sadly that fact people cannot see, <br /> <br />In their worlds their souls be lost, <br />Forgetting you at any cost, <br />Failing to see, <br />How important you are! <br />Please, oh! Please show them your power, <br /> <br />Power of love and not of hate, <br />Please show then soon, <br />I cannot wait! <br /> <br />Yet! In your time, <br />You will open the way, <br />So that they all would see as bright as day, <br /> <br />Hope then! They realize what they have done, <br />When that day comes, <br />At peace will I be, <br />For the long waged battle you had won. <br /> <br />But! Until then my duty I'll do, <br />To keep you safe, <br />I swear to you!<br /><br />Savio Vogt<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/to-nature-6/
