Nature Poem

Darkening dead trees

leaves outstretched

rooted to the earth

dying to be heard.


Ravenous fire blaze

sent trees shivering

helpless and desperate

all burnt to ashes.


When wrath of nature is cast on man

they start to panic

all hopes were dashed

it was all too late.


When end is drawing near

man regrets

helpless and desperate

waiting for miracle.

Epilogue

While at the botanic gardens, i was dismal by the fact that singapore had so few nature reserves and only one botanic garden. There used to have myraid forests here, however, with the development of the country, most of the forests had been cut down or burnt down to clear land for industrialization and urbanization. I felt deplorable for the fact that there are so few natural forests and man often neglet nature. Nature had sent its warnings to man to protect and love it. Without it, man will be nearing the end of the world. Thus i feel that we should learn to appreciate and love nature more and try to protect it from being destroyed.
