MOTHER NATURE CRIES

The hapless fate of Mother nature has confined her to a life of endless tears.

Like a mother,
Mourning her dead child,
She wails Night and Day,
Bemoaning her hapless fate.

Tears flowing ceaselessly,
She cries for her offspring,
The Trees,
Hewn down daily,
Without any replacement,
The Waters,
Contaminated by toxic wastes,
The Atmosphere,
Polluted by poisonous gases.

In order to make gains,
Man inflicts on her deep pains,
Leading her to great rage.


In fury she rises,
Summoning her "army of Hades",
The storms and lightnings,
The violent eruptions,
The all consuming floods,
The fierce hurricanes.

Leaving her path of peace,
She takes the way of vengeance,
Seeking to avenge her loss,
Eventually,
Her sorrows only increases,
Every now and then,
Mother Nature continually cries.

- J. S. Osinachi.

I love the start and I like the theme and word choices but I feel you could have defined your rhyme scheme better. The poem is a little hard to follow through.
