Nature, wondrous from the very beginning
perfectly created* by God for mankind
precious gift to tend with grace He grants.
Nature, beauteous paradise is now badly ravaged...
oppressed by inhabitants' abuse
hurting it with combined folly and negligence.
Nature, with soaring technology
toward so-called progress is continually afflicted
agonizing in advancement-inflicted pain.
Nature, sighing in disgust at arrogance
of development --- keeps on warning sternly
tolerating not selfishness and greed of human nature.
Nature, along pestilence-triggered dearth
gives to us admonition, and we must take heed
before we despair, regretting ... when it is too late.
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
