A DIRGE FOR MOTHER NATURE


By Imoh Richard









Come on children, lets sing a song
Lets sing of fields soo green
Lets sing of sky so blue
Lets sing of happy birds clapping feathers so hued

Come on children, lets sing a song
Lets sing of the earth so great
Lets sing of heroes decades a gone
Whose brave legs trod the soil beneath our feet

Come on children, lets sing a song
Lets sing of the ocean so vast
Lets sing of the whale basking in the sun
Of crocs with an open mouth
Waiting for the next meal
God saves the unwary prey



Come on children, lets sing a song
Of the wonders all around
Lets sing pocohontas song
With the voices of the mount
Lets sing of the colours all around
Painting visions even davinci cant

Come on children, lets sing a song
Of mother nature and her alone
Come on children, lets sing a song
Our last for mother earth
The sky is dark
Fields ablaze in reddish inferno
Chirping birds roasting in the heat
Or in furnance of the VIP

Come on children, lets sing a song
For its about to rain
But Alas, its not a rain
For mother mature cries
And we,
Only we
Will get flooded by her tears

Come on children
Lets sing a dirge
For alas, we sing
A song we will never sing again.
