Lost Love

The sun has lost its golden rays,

The rainbow is too embarrassed to show its colors.

Peacocks run hiding their beautiful feathers,

Storms angrily hit the ships cruising at sea.

Nature is outraged by Man's arrogance and violence.

But Man is too proud to listen to Mother Nature.

He is too insolent to admit his mistakes.

Tears and blood can no longer touch his heart.

Love loses its meaning in the hand of ruthless Man.

In the name of compliance and greed,

He destroys the hope and faith of others.

Man ignores the warnings of Mother Nature.

Who is Man?

Does he think he can surpass Nature and God?

Does he think he can banish love and replace it with fear?

Man has neither eyes nor ears.

He doesn't see what is there to be seen.

He doesn't listen to the screams.

All he sees and hears is his own glory at the expense of others.
