In frozen space there spins a marveled sphere On balanced perch with fettered care, aglow An artful system shields a fragile show And skillfully adjusts to nature’s veer Both land and sea work seamlessly to steer A nuanced waltz that sways with ebb and flow Ensuring life sustained is free to grow The tenants with the largest minds, I fear Are loath to gait their stride among the herd Entitled arrogance on proud display As man expands and subjugates with flair From greenhouse gas to ocean stress incurred The human race insuring its decay Tomorrow’s hopes and dreams, this folly snares 19 Apr 2014 Miltonic Sonnet abbaabbacdecde
