Hi Everyone! Today I’m going to write a poem. I hope Poems are non-fiction… I didn’t write poems recently, so… here I am! (P.S. this blog will be short)
<Dear Nature>
Seoin Lim
Dear Nature,
I must tell you the truth
The truth of ourselves
No, no, we are not lying
Although we always did in the past
Dear Animals,
It is us who killed your friends
It is us who broke the peace
It is us who killed your family
It is all by us.
Dear trees,
We are those who cut your healthy bodies
We are those who used them in inappropriate ways
We are those who broke you all apart
When we were always looking for you to help us
Dear all Earth’s lovely flowers,
When your soft pedals were removed
When your beautiful smiles vanished
And turned to significant horror
It was us who did all these
Dear grasses,
Dear soils,
Dear insects,
Dear air,
Dear Nature,
When you gave all your content,
When you gave beautiful flowers,
When you gave your sturdy tree trunks,
When you have your important families,
Oh, it was all us!
It was us when we used your gifts!
It was us who stepped onto your flowers!
It was us who burned the tree trunks!
It was us to kill the families!
For all you know we are Earth’s conquerors,
For all you know we are strong warriors,
For all you know we are soft creatures,
For all you know we are happy children waiting for your help,
For all, yes, for all you know we are your helpers!
Indeed, we are Earth’s conquerors,
Indeed, we are strong animals,
Indeed, we are Earth’s creatures,
Indeed, we are children of yours who planned betrayal,
Indeed, some are your helpers!
But no, we are not kind conquerors!
No, we are not warriors risking our lives to help!
We are not soft creatures!
We are not “happy” children at your service!
We have never helped you!
For you did not know what we all did
We have betrayed all of you
We have killed the soft creatures
We have burned, cut, broken all the trees
We have done more harm than you can imagine!
Mother nature,
How motherly you are!
How you gave everything!
How you risked your life
To feed, save us!
But I must confirm this
This unbelievable truth
This heart-breaking reality
This tragic news
That we were smart
That we were betrayers
That we were evil
That we have abandoned you
And once and for all,
You cannot help us
For we have harmed ourselves
For we have betrayed ourselves
For we were not smart!
We did not plan well!
We have killed ourselves,
And we know that you cannot help us
Because you are now dead.
