The Lazy Delicacy

The Lazy Delicacy



Nature exhibits stale wonders.

It reminds mankind, his blunders.

The dull Grey sky warns depletion-

of ozone layer which shields globe,

stops harmful rays forming a robe.

The dreary trees hint extinction

of fine valuable resources,

prompts environmental changes.

The river portends destruction!
