Nature’s response.

I provided a niche for your evolution

I granted the intelligence to prosper

I allowed to you propagate my landscapes

Now you’re actions are killing me

You’re polluting my waters

You’re killing my creatures

I’ve sent hurricanes stronger than you’ve known

I’ve sent famines longer than you’ve known

You didn’t listen to my pleas

Some of you didn’t want to hear

But now I’ve had enough of you

I’ve sent this virus as my gift for your disdain.
