Rhymeless Reason

The heat was relentless as if it was out of spite She was scorched and blinded by the blazing white One sided and mismatched as it gets with a fight Until he showed up to protect her and punched above his weight    Blocking and shading the hapless earth from her summer plight Burnt and scorched, yet he never let her out of his sight   Slim were his chances against the blazing Sun's might He grew as dark and thick as he could and fought valiantly until twilight Even as the damsel earth looked up with gratitude to thank the dark cloudy knight     A spent and frustrated, Sun sighed a tired goodnight   The battle is not over and the Sun will be back tomorrow with a bigger bite But the cloud will reminisce the day he had the last laugh and won the fight   A day when a tired Sun was ready to switch off for the night, The gutsy cloud taunted him with a roar, ‘Let there be light’

We evolved rapidly, riding on our distinction. Even as we pushed other species to their edge of extinction We made the blue planet spin towards a scary red future Our price for playing God and messing with Mother nature We managed to boil the Oceans, not with flame or fire and yet we refuse to curb our apathy and cold-hearted desire We wonder why the tides rise higher and winds lash faster even as we blame each other for all disaster Will we slow down and pay heed? Or has greed become our overbearing need? Can green cool this hot crucible? Or is it too late and the damage irreversible? Will we do it differently if we start over again Will we give this earth a better bargain? How dare you? roars mother nature for taking her down this slope She can't bear to witness another pain of melting hope
