The creaks were screams
as the mighty wood fell with
a thud to the floor
'Do not Cry!' Voiced the bird
as another flood gate below her
did break and thus pour.
The cracks were frozen warriors
who had been clinging to one another
for so long
with now, only weakness
they could not possibly any longer, go on.
'Do not Cry!' voiced the beautiful white bear
who stood, looking up at a forced fate.
But the fall, she did stand, and stood she did, to await.
The grassland began to feel weak, and dark.
Like the fate of a king, the green, slowly began to lose it's mark.
'Do not Cry- Not even for us!' The elephant did call.
A brave creature she was, until she wasted away
starved, and forced to crawl.
Her tusks, they were taken, as she breathed her
last breath.
Taken, they were,
by humans full of greed,
world massacre, they do not realise they
have began to install.
The waves were merciless,
angry with deceit.
'Do not Cry!' The little turtle said, as he cried on the shore,
poisoned and beat.
Thus, the mother of nature did cry for what she saw,
and what motherly tears they were.
As she cried, the waters continued to collide,
many creatures all died,
and the waters did,
and still rise.
