Masts that stretch into the sky
reaching heavenward
to catch the sea’s breeze
and fly

Motors idle warming up
diesel’s fume and gasoline burns
searching through oceans depths
for shrimp pink and plump

Mother Nature tempts the sailor man
with morsels and tidbits
found neath her skirts
left there by her nurturing hand

Mud slides and great tsunami’s
does she wield
when her children mistreat
and go against her policies

Madness reigns upon her surface
man against man
and man against woman
to control her uterus

Mothers and daughters
forced to choose sides
fathers resigned
to worship green fodder

Morning arises in full glory
landscape littered
with leaves of the fallen
Mother Nature ends another story
