Why Hit Us With Nature's Best
Why Hit Us With Nature's Best
The hot sun falls in its allotted place
allowing dark world rising , us to meet.
Alas! We beasts of the sad human race,
run forth seeking all by the way we cheat!
Although given sweet earth and freshest air,
we scramble for much more in our sad greed.
And what of our Fate, should we even care?
Or dare in desperate prayer to plead?
Sunsets show us things end and start again,
complete with new hope of the rising dawn.
Can we find promise that it may explain,
dew shining on a green, freshly mowed lawn?
Ah, you ask, why hit us with Nature's best?
Because if seen clear, it proves all the rest!
