Poem~Artificial and Natural
They are not 'twinkling stars' we see, they are the satellites,
It is all only god's earth, but still for rights we fight.
The fertilizer laid on ground is mistaken for soil,
It is the whole in ozone layer, not sun, for why we boil.
Light bulbs can never replace:elegance of the moon,
Heaters can not provide:warmth of afternoon.
Dyed hair never looked good, everyone does it, all the same,
Glamour makes you forget; meaning of life, the aim.
People sometimes forget: artificial means unreal,
Artificial only looks good, nature is good in real.
It is all only god's earth, but still for rights we fight.
The fertilizer laid on ground is mistaken for soil,
It is the whole in ozone layer, not sun, for why we boil.
Light bulbs can never replace:elegance of the moon,
Heaters can not provide:warmth of afternoon.
Dyed hair never looked good, everyone does it, all the same,
Glamour makes you forget; meaning of life, the aim.
People sometimes forget: artificial means unreal,
Artificial only looks good, nature is good in real.
So true!! I totally agree with you. It's a shame artificial things are taking over nature. And all the greed we now have on Earth, which is destroying the rainforests and so much more. Anyway, this is an awesome poem, Zainab! I love how you've given examples, and rhymed the words! The rhythm in it is also great - the syllables are almost of equal length. I love it! Keep writing more poems!
