Nature by Mina Q. Truong

Fireflies swarm all around,
Illuminating the setting sky,
as a gentle breeze fluttered by.
And animals scurry nearby in search for food.
Why don't people try to preserve nature?
Though there is violence in our world,
there is none in nature, Only survival,
Why do we hold on to things that destroy?
Don't we care about this world?
If nature is extirpated then people
will care.
Forest fires started by human beings,
poachers killing mercilessly for fur,
people littering carelessly,
lands harmed by brutal wars,
all of these matters and much more,
killing what we should adore.
The beauty of nature never ends.
It revives us,
and makes life worth living.
For this reason we must save nature and
Make it everlasting and perpetual.
