Let it be heavy Snow Let it be heaviest Rain Human beings will survive (poem)

Let it be heavy Snow
Let it be heaviest Rain
Let it be massive Earthquakes
Let it be super Storms
Let it be impact of Meteorite or outer space body.
Human beings will survive
Life on earth will survive
Human beings will survive.
Life on earth will survive. 1.

Nature behaves like that
Nature works like this
Nature cools us like this
Nature heats up us like this
Nature shakes us like this
Let Nature show its different colours.
Human beings will survive
Life on earth will survive
Human beings will survive.
Life on earth will survive. 2.

We have sustained lot of love from nature, as it by let us survive till date,
We have sustained lot of atrocities in the form weather or what so ever
We have prepared us for survival in love and atrocities
Human being now is almost have become 'all weather survival'
Sometimes, it seems other spcecies are against humans
However, in this world, species survie due to dependance on each other.
Lot of such other species also have become 'all weather survival'.
Hence, or otherwise also,
Human beings will survive
Life on earth will survive
Human beings will survive
Life on earth will survive. 3.
