The sun comes out
the winds still blow
The buds on flowers
predictably grow


The days weeks
and months are flying
The seasons change
In perfect timing 


The world clock ticking
without missing a beat
Sunrises each morning 
giving light and heat


The tides still 
ebbing high and low
The moon still sharing
that pale wintery glow


It’s business as usual
In mother nature’s life
It’s us stupid humans
causing all this strife


Will we ever learn?
from our blatant mistakes
How many more viruses 
does it need to take?


Remember we all, just
come and go
Earth has been here
longer than we’ll ever know


I think if we’re lucky
And we get out unscathed 
We’ll fallback to old habits
and the problems we made 


So maybe we should look
Take in and listen
Maybe reverse our errors
Into remission 


Carry on with pollution 
and wanton neglect
Mother Nature WILL evict us
Well - What do you expect?
