Enemy Of Nature Poem by Emeka Williams Etumnu

Enemy Of Nature

Rating: 4.0


The ozone layer dying
I heard her crying
Like a helpless newborn baby
Dropping angry rays
The menalin can't take
Hence, my skin badly burn
Like heated furious furnace

Running to the riverside
To quench this burn
Yet the water,
Spilled with blackgold
Leaving the aquatic creatures floating dead
Oh, no way for me!
My skin yet burn
I turn to open space for fresh air
The ozone enemy roared
Traveling to different directions
Unending smokes
Disrupting the rhythm of my lungs and yet my skin still burn.

Unfriendly act of man
To nature
Will only come back
With claws like a wounded lion
To hunt
Now,
Its threat we fear
Consequences of our act we bear
