My Ongoing Exploration of Earth

Nature Sucks!

This is a poem I wrote in 2017. I imagine all of my poetry set to music but I am rarely able to come up with my own tunes. This poem I imagine set to the tune of Thunderstruck by AC/DC. The ending is patterned after the ending of Dirty Deeds by the same group.


It was hot - steam risin' up from the ground
And you look, but there's no one around
And the sun, it floats high in the sky
As the flies, leeches, and ticks suck you dry
You hack through thorns, stumble over vines, blinded by sweat
But you know you haven't seen civilization yet
Your throat's so dry now, you'd kill for a drop of dew
You find a dirty stream to drink from - and a croc takes a hold of you
 
You've been...nature dunked!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nature sunk!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nature dumped!
Nature sucks
 
You're out walking, and you hear a strange sound
Then the ground opens up, and you're falling down
Surrounded by darkness, leg hurts too much to stand
No way out, nothing to plan
Can't climb with your leg, can't dig through stones
Call out for rescue but you are all alone
Hungry and thirsty, the days drag on
You know, that soon you'll be gone
 
You've been...nature stumped!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nature flunked!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nature punked!
Nature sucks
 
Up in the mountains - high, high in the air
Your feet are frozen - yeah, your feet are bare
Can't start a fire - there's no wood or fuel
Icicles in your beard now - that's from your drool
Lookin' for shelter just over the next ridge
And you're seein' spots now, the air's so thin
Then you see smoke in the distance, and you jump for joy
Too loud! The avalanche whisks you away like a toy
 
You've been...nature struck!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nature bucked!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nature bumped!
Nature sucks
 
Smallpox
Lightning strikes
Volcanic eruption!
 
Vacuum exposure
Supernovas
Gravitational spaghettification!
 
You've been...nature trumped!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nature fucked!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nature drunk!
Oooh, yeah, you're out of luck!
Oooh, yeah, a sitting duck!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nature sucks!
Oooh, oooh, yeah, nature struck!
Oooh, oooh, yeah, nature bucked!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, nature dumped!
