It's obscurity and the incessant stigma
That our humanity thrusts upon it,
Making it more unfit.
Its woeful yearning blows in my ears like an alarm.Is something hindering the magic of its charm?
Oh! Certainly, I know not of this.
However, I do vouch for the eternal bliss
That it bestows upon our race,
Without even witnessing any penitence on our face
For what we have done to it.
Oh! What is this shit,
Where one sucks the other dry anon,
The latter succumbs itself to former's fun,
And there is surely none to shun
The ruthlessness of everyone?
Oh !Much is yet undone.
But, such time is soon to come
When nature's retaliation will make us run.
Oh, Goons! It's not a pun.
Don't make the nature burn.

Nicely written ma'am. Indeed nature's counter attack can decimate us just in the blink of an eye. The best instance in the recent memory is the challenge posed by the deadly Nipah virus to mankind. As they say, it's the result of large scale deforestation leading to loss of habitat of bats and a degradation of their immune system, jncreasing their virus load in the process.
