2. My poem for the world. World where technology fails World where wisdom disappoints World where hatred abounds World where peace is scarcely seen World where wickedness and greed invades the heart of men World where hypocrisy and pretence exist What a world! The earth is angry towards men Because we abuse nature and respect for human is not found Lately I heard a man begin selling land in the moon! Oh human is insatiable! The earth is too small for man to invade now the moon is the next! I fear for the next human generation I fear for the coming world Let us not panic for the unknown to showcase itself We can make it a better world!

4. 1. What is Disaster? A disaster is a natural or man-made hazard that has come to fruition, resulting in an event of substantial extent causing significant physical damage or destruction, loss of life, or drastic change to the environment. A disaster can be ostensively defined as any tragic event with great loss stemming from events such as earthquakes, floods, catastrophic accidents, fires, or explosions etc. 2. What are the causes of disaster? Human is the major key to the causes of disaster. The cause of disaster is just the misunderstanding and abuse of a particular thing. The abuse of human and nature is just the cause of disaster. 3. Disaster we might face in next decade There is nothing new in our present world, everything is just rebranding itself. So we shouldn’t expect something new but something rebranding coming in new shape maybe higher or lower. The just shall live by their faith. Everyday of our life as humans we cannot afford to predict or say what will happen next because we live in a world of suddenity. So we are to expect sudden and recurring of natural disaster. Because if the earth do not vomit disaster human will cause disaster. 4. How to protect our world from furthering disaster? There is no how we can talk of protecting our world from disaster that we won’t talk about God, the creator of the earth. No matter our religion or tradition we all believe that there is God and He is the owner of the world. a. b. to obey the creator of the nature (GOD) prepare and implement developmental plans to provide relieve to such disasters,

Nature needs care, let's take proper care of it Not all natural disasters can be prevented. Each natural disaster has its own factors and complications. Understanding the basic principles of ecology can provide keys to lessening their effects. Nature evolved with natural disasters and disturbance. The best prevention is looking at the strategies found in nature. 5. Respond or adapt to future circumstances Human response to disaster has always being hypocritical, we know the cause of disaster and we know how to reduce disaster, yet we do what will make the earth cause natural disaster or we cause it ourselves ,maybe we should say Human disaster. For example: The nuclear weapons implementations, toxics wastage, oil exploration which sometimes causes Oil spillage etc, all this causes the earth to respect back to us in vexation because we are always abusing nature/earth.
