A Letter To Mother Nature

A LETTER TO MOTHER NATURE by Meek Junior

Last night
I was seated outside my house i had spent countless hours thinking before inking this down on a paper
I bet you will think i am lying because my eyes are clear but bet on it what lies deep Seated in my heart hurts more than a loss. The loss of our love
As i sat Seated in the darkness reminiscing of those sweet old days when all i could feel was you. The sweet noise you made .that force that made them trees dance and sing along to your rhythm .Through you
I could breathe fresh i could eat fresh and i bet you it was the best experience ever.
Those energy draining session that make us pant like a gazelle running from jaws of a cheetah or the panting of ghosts zombies in dreams.
I remember when i used to dance in rain. Like play with mud. Splash water not minding the cold because its what my. Heart trully loved
That same spot that the green lawn of grass growing so healthy that you could fall in love just at the first sight
So last night i sat on the same place the grass was planted
One thing that ran through my mind was betrayal.deciet
Hatred
I could easily feel soil particles get to my eyes and had to rub them time and again to get the clear picture
Looking at this I noticed,
We have lost touch with nature
Nature .my first love that we shared every moment of greatness how I embraced your culture. How i could not let papers drop how i waited to plant a single tree every season to just see it grow with beauty.
I remember how i used to take my best friend ,pick a flower for them fresh and they could feel the love.
But its no more
A sign of the hatred greed and the dishonesty in our generation
And now its silent
A silence that we don’t like
It reminds us of each and every time we get onto our forest bring down trees to build with companies directing their industry waste direct to the river were we fetch water with mind to drink. The fish in the lake are no more.i bet we cannot smell anything fishy since they are long gone
We are battling to increasing ultra violent rays of the sun due to the green house effect. But what do we do?
We have decided to stay hidden in our houses. The social media and our TV screens have become our marriage partners
Its so simple to put blame on the government for rising of prices in commodities the same commodity from the environment we are breaking. From the mention i bet Wangari Mathai would be shaking in tears of disbelief of the waste of the legacy she left. Poaching and killing of the wild animals cutting down of every tree that find on way. We defile even the scripture from Genesis that said "cultivate"
At the end of the day
Animals are going extinct feeding our children to genetically modified food with lots of chemicals. Its sad how a child at the age of 5 is battling cancer. We are racing against the changed rain patterns. Rising in water levels in our ocean due to melting of the ice.stacks and stacks of sunscreen lotion to prevent the sun rays
I bet soon we will leave the world
But before
We need to really write a well explaining letter to mother nature and proclaim we are sorry
Sorry for turning you into a dumping site defiling your beauty for our selfish gains and private dispositions. An elaborate explanation why we cannot walk or take a bike instead unroadworthy smoke emitting vehicles find themselves on our roads in short sorry for killing you.im sorry for ignoring your plea instead poked Nose to what wasn’t my concern
It will be a tale of wet eyes that have opened and realized the depth of harm we have committed
And now about to be a lifeless corpse to bid goodbye to the one place we lived but never cared an inch about
There is a still silence
A loud silence its lifeless
The smile is gone
Freshness of our air is gone we cannot even go a moment without holding our nose from stench
The land is bare
Rare tree species gone extinct
New lifestyle sickness developing
We are getting educated but no fruits
Knoweledge that is never wisdom since we never put it in use.
As i sat wiping my eyes of the tears of loss
Of my first love
I realized
I had lost *i*
Thank you
