Natural Cycle

Some people think these recent disasters Are caused by abuse of the planet I tend to think they're natural occurrences The world is just running the gamut The ebb and flow of changing conditions Are normal like any time previous The world has existed for billions of years Foolish to think we'd be impervious It's how it's been since the dawn of existence Today, we're in a technological time frame To imagine it's the reason for all this mayhem Is wrong, we shouldn't assume all the blame There are certainly mistakes man has made That surely hasn't helped the environment But to suggest that these are the only reasons The blame has an unjustified placement No doubt, we've had some manmade disasters Without question, can't dispute their effect Humans certainly are not without culpability But we've never been thought of as perfect We are only visiting for a relatively short time And our challenge is to try our very utmost To leave it a much better place than we found it What a great reason for us humans to boast!
