A Melting Pot

In nature’s vast world the animals dwell,
Some flying above, some running below.
They climb to the mountains, roam in the dells,
An unknown force will call them to follow.

The rules of nature are simple you see…
She mandates, most will live, a few will die.
Her delicate balance was meant to be,
Since the dawn of time her rules will apply.

Why can’t mankind learn a lesson from her?
Co-existing side by side in our place,
Live in harmony, comfort each other,
With open arms, and prejudice replaced.

Only with peace can mankind be made whole.
A melting pot should be our final goal.

Really nice sonnet, Mrs Betty. We could learn a lot from nature. The only problem is, there isn't any money in it. This world is based on greed and vice!

Thanks for the response Daniel. Glad you liked it, and I too hope mankind will wake up before it is too late.
