The flowers blossomed upon the field
Such beauty wasted before men’s eyes
Birds chirped happily in trees so green
Oblivious to the maelstrom brewing in the skies
Nature’s music came to an abrupt halt
When the clanking of metal came near
The approaching voices of conquering men
Induced even the mighty bear to run in fear
No more beauty would the valley see
When explosions uprooted fauna and trees
What had once been a scene of immense beauty
Became splattered with man’s wars and disease
Though nature’s sculptors took a millennium or more
To grace mankind with both plant and animal
Man’s armies need but a few moments to end it all
No unspoiled valley safe until man’s wars do go
