The morning dew is the tears
of suffering and pain.
The sun lowers, herself down
shutting her eyes to the world.
The trees swing to the dancing wind,
singing along.
Deep in the forest of the earth lies it's
soul, weeping with desperation.
Anger from the nature
lives in the atmosphere
howling at the earth
and its inhabitants.
Rivers run red
of the blood
from the victims
of the day.
A lonely tear runs down
a little girl's face
lying beside her
dead mother.

The rivers run red!

The morning dew is the tears
of suffering and pain.
The sun lowers, herself down
shutting her eyes to the world.
The trees swing to the dancing wind,
singing along.
Deep in the forest of the earth lies it's
soul, weeping with desperation.
Anger from the nature
lives in the atmosphere
howling at the earth
and its inhabitants.
Rivers run red
of the blood
from the victims
of the day.
A lonely tear runs down
a little girl's face
lying beside her
dead mother.

You take nature and combine it with tragic events in such a way as to place the reader on the edge of a scene. Allowing them to look in and see that which taking place in all it's horrible reality while still being able to maintain a detached sense of being.

Very well done, keep up the good work.
