A tribute to nature

One evening,near the sea,I gazed at the vastness of the shimmering land.The clear,cold and shimmering waters,against the warmth of the setting sun,adding red hues to the sky.The beauty of nature,and the glory in watching it,I had been lost in it.How blissful is it to gaze at something more breathtaking and beautiful than the most beautiful masterpieces of jewelriesWatching the sun set against the snug beach,draped in a sarong ,so light that it flared against the breeze.How breathtaking is it,I thought to myself.If nature is so beautiful,why are we wrecking havoc on it?If nature is the epitome of peace and serenity,why does mankind not be satisfied?Why are we propelled by the intensity to destroy it?I intently thought to myself.
That evening,I couldnt sleep in peace.My mind was full of the screams,with images of the dead devastated nature.Memories of the past haunted me.I was scared.I thought:if I were a bird,how would I feel to be homeless?If I were a tree,how would I feel to be chopped into pieces?If I were but a butterfly,how would I feel when I had no buttercups to feed on?I shivered at the thought.The intensity overcame me.I thought to myself how would I as a human feel to be rendered homeless?To be stabbed innumerable times?To be mercilessly thrown against the vast victims of hunger and poverty?How would I feel?This is a question that lingered in my mind.Perhaps,my flitting against the bed that night arose from the intensity of the questions I longed to ask my fellow beings.How would you feel?.
