Another poem from "Anthology 2022 - 2023"
Here we share one poem by EDILSON LEÃO (Brazil)
“NATURE CALLS FOR HELP.”
Naturally, nature offered us
By the creator of the universe, it hasn't been featured
And you don't even see signs of progress in it.
The vile man, was merciless and cruel, created a
Immense situation of destruction, devastation, etc.
There were fires and felling of woods
Which, it is to be moved by the meanness.
Many birds, no longer sing their songs,
That mighty river of yore, now lies, makes
Part of a clamorous story, the waterfall that
So much bathed, in its crystalline waters, it became
In an almost dry stream, with no water to
Quench the thirst of the bird, which has lost its nest.
Just yesterday, I told my grandson about the watery
From the past, the green, the fresh air, the song of the birds,
About the berries, the flowers, the fish and all
Context of the nature that I lived in it, he looked at me smiling
And then he replied: “Grandpa, I believe in you,
But, is it really that everything you said existed!
Where was that, where in Brazil!
The answer vanished from me, because from there my world fell.
Nature sure asks for help and I beg you:
-God, help us!
Enjoy.
