I walk through,
Through the luscious green.
The ground embracing,
Of the beauty that environs us.
Chirping and howling,
Of the indigenous.
Melody to my ears.
They are my children, you see.
Providing ‘em everything.
Rain and food,
Meadows and hills,
Not to forget.
I want them happy; you see.
No regrets, no worries.
Unanticipated and unexpectedly,
Darkness prevails.
A catastrophe? Lord, no!
I hear the ear-splitting wail.
Crying koalas,
Howling wolves,
Frantic cry of the birds.
My children, I cry
With a heavy heart.
Incapable and powerless,
Fire devours us.
The world turns ashen.
Mankind failed,
Failed to foresee.
Mankind failed,
Failed to realize.
Cut us down,
Ripped us into pieces.
Weak and frail, I am
With my body giving up.
Unable to hold any longer.
With all that is left,
I shall try.
There isn't much left of me.
I need you.
Take care of me.
For the future I want to see.
Let us hold hands in oneness.
-NK
