When We Break Human Made Law

When we break human made law the price we have to pay But we rape and pillage Nature every day We cut down her trees for development to make way And no law against that such is seen as okay Our survival depends on her since us she does feed For our very existence our Earth Mother we need She can live without us and on her we depend Yet we do not treat her as we would a friend If we break human made law that's a punishable crime And for that we may live in prison for a long span of time But when bureaucrats and government leaders abuse Mother Nature for their selfish gain 'Tis done in the name of progress to us they explain But we are mere mortals and Nature lives on And her Seasons have come and her Seasons have gone.
