We Do Not Live Many Decades Poem by Francis Duggan

We Do Not Live Many Decades



We do not live many decades on an average ten years with three score
For we too are Nature's life forms just that and nothing more
And though many with what I say here many may choose to disagree
That they are entitled to their opinions seems quite okay with me
Only Goddess Nature lives for forever the only God of which I know
The one who feeds all life forms yet respect to her we do not show
We pollute the air and waterways that to the oceans flow
But in Nature's Universal Karma we must reap what we sow
With Nature's other life forms the World we are supposed to share
But due to habitat destruction wildlife are becoming rare
Land clearance and tree clearing is happening everywhere
It is happening all around us in the bigger World out there
Due to climate change the World will be very different in a decade from now or two
And what we do to our Earth mother to our own selves we do.
