I SAW THE DEATH OF NATURE

By Save Scotland's Countryside.

(Photo showing some of the Viking wind farm turbines on Shetland - see our album The Destruction of Shetland.)

I saw the death of nature,

Flashing in the sky.

Then a bird dropped down before me.

It gave no song or cry.

Its feathers floated roundabout.

Like devils in the wind-

The robot machines seemed to shout

“Apocalypse, begin!”

I used to wander through the country

In a rapture, in a daze,

In nature’s glory filled with beauty,

The joy would rush in waves.

A smile was stretched out on my face,

As I sauntered through the hills.

I felt connected, and at peace.

And time itself stood still.

But there’s a screaming in the ocean now.

And that flashing in the sky.

There are bodies built up on the beach.

And this bird that will not fly.

I see the death of nature.

I can feel the death of us.

I hear the death of poetry.

Coming to all of us.

Our land used to be sacred.

Now it’s turning to a grave.

Concrete, metals blast the Earth

And they say - “They want it saved.”

I saw the death of nature,

Flashing in the sky.

But the rich keep getting richer,

And the spirit goes to die.
