..::One Final Warning::..

This is one story that the whole world has heard,
of how mother nature poured her fury.
How thousands of lives came crashing down,
and the element of water was the jury.

Little Swamy was playing on the beach that morn.
He squished little ants and laughed with glee.
But did he know that miles away,
there was danger, which he couldn't flee.

He washed away the last ant with water,
"Die! I am your god!" he said.
At that moment the waves rose behind him,
and before he knew it, he was dead.

Is this a lesson we were to learn?
A pending message for the human race.
How could we have taken the world for granted,
and torn endless scars on nature's face.

Gaia is a forgiving person,
someone whose wrath is difficult to arouse.
But once her patience reaches the limits,
she unleashes an anger that's difficult to douse.

Times like this bring us all together,
we realize religions are nothing but lies.
And the boundaries we put around ourselves,
are things only a human could surmise.

What are we to learn from all this, you ask?
This is a warning of things to come.
We must make sure we don't become the dinosaur,
that we don't meet an end that's gruesome.
