(001) Where Is The Time!

The trees swaying to the breeze Butterflies flying hither and thither Millions of radiant colors everywhere But oh! Where is the TIME to see? Chirping birds sing melodiously The waves of the ocean slap the rocks Nature conjures up a symphony But oh! Where’s the TIME to hear? Fragrant scents fill the morning air As the flowers bloom just as dawn arrives And the first drops of rain touch the golden sand But oh! Where’s the TIME to smell? Oh yes! There is no time To stop and admire the marvels of nature But we seem to have all the time in the world To destroy from what has been provided to us In the name of ‘modernizing’ and ‘technology’ But when Mother Nature brings her wrath upon us We flee like rats- who will save us now?
