Blind To Nature

We walk around the park But take no notice of nature. We all look but don't see The naked trees pointing skywards, Fallen leaves now sodden. We look up at the sky But don't notice billowing clouds. The wind is all we feel As it makes cold our face and hands From autumn through to spring. We look at the river, We look out to sea in summer, We don't see the plastic, We don't see other pollutants, We don't think about it. We complain of much rain That is now lasting days longer Pouring day after day. Flooding from wild swollen rivers. Now becoming the norm. Nature in harmony - no. The invisible pollution, CO2 methane too, Plastic, fossil fuel, chemicals, Sewage and detergents. Nature is now changing We look but our eyes aren't open We are too complacent Climate change doesn't affect us We walk around the park.
