Guess who got hurt?

 The sun was shining in the morning,
 A few clouds were going astray.
 The night had just given way,
 To a bright and beautiful day.
 When a Lady cleaning her home littered the roadside with dirt,
 Mother Nature just then got hurt.

 Monday was the day that looked so good,
 People were ready to do what they would.
 The leaves rustled and the birds chirped as a breeze passed us by,
 When a girl in a car threw a wrapper out and said to it ‘goodbye’.
 She littered the road with dirt,
 And Mother Nature again got hurt.

 All the students were having fun,
 There was laughter in the air.
 Someone splashed a boy with water,
 Just because he had some spare.
 Many students did what he had done without much care,
 And played on till it was too much to bear.
 When the students wetted the area and ruined someones shirt,
 Mother Nature just then got hurt.

 People were strolling by the road,
 When the stars had just begun to shine.
 The trees and the birds all seemed so quiet,
 The air was so fragrant at that time.
 When a boy on a bike went speeding by,
 And forced the perfect evening to die.
 He spread around a lot of dirt,
 And Mother Nature just then got hurt.

 No one cares for her,
 No one wants to help.
 We have caused her so much pain,
 The least we could do is act a little sane.
 Because once the limit is defied,
 Mother Nature will no longer be on our side.
