Mountains Don’t Envy

Written for Poetry Potluck Theme Seven Sins..



Vanishing greens
Urban affluence wants space
Man’s greed


Lightning strikes
Wipes out man’s deadly sins
Angry God..


Nature’s resources
Turn in to sources of damage
Man’s lust for power


Desert exemplify
Sun’s wrath, green piece of land
Seeks blessings


Mountains don’t envy
So, let rivers happily flow
Earth offers thanks..

    I enjoyed the peace in this poem, very gently put about how we humans and the seven deadly sins try to ruin everything good and beautiful. :))

    I really enjoyed your poem. I am definitely a nature lover, and can see the contrast between the pureness of nature ... and us. Great poem. Thank you :)
