A Spoiled Child

Man a terribly spoiled child resembles 

Having as his toys nature's many laws

Thoughtlessly he enjoys playing with them

Till human race into the abyss throws!

Connie Marcum Wong Date: 7/21/2017 2:30:00 PM It is great now that environmentalism is being taught in the schools so that future generations can repair what has been destroyed. Our future depends upon our children and future generations. Your poem shines a light on careless greed. : ) Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 7/21/2017 3:01:00 PM True dearest, Connie but this should have been done decades ago and even now is good I would agree but have you seen Trump pulling USA out of the Paris accord? What the school children would do? In 20-40 years when they will be in a position of power it will be too late! Look what is going on around the world! Of course I pray things to get better but they are out of hand already! Thank you my friend for your kind visit and comment!

Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 7/21/2017 2:56:00 PM I agree the end is harsh but harsher is reality my dear,MLK! Have you seen the erratic weather behavior and the melting of the ice caps? Let us hope... Thank you so much my friend!

Eve Roper Date: 7/21/2017 9:45:00 AM Man one day I hope will learn, but so far no one sees the deeper picture.. Humans are too busy lining their pockets. Enjoyed reading your wisdom, Demetrios, like always. ~* Thank you for the visit on my poem..

From what I see though is that Man accelerates his doom and not the other way around! Let us hope! Thank you my friend!

Akkina Downing Date: 7/21/2017 8:22:00 AM So true. People are so greedy in their hearts they forget to step back and glance on what they are destroying. This poor world is very sad. Beautiful write Demetrios :) Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 7/21/2017 1:52:00 PM Unfortunately people behave like that and we all are going to pay a heavy price dearest, Akkina!

Maria Williams Date: 7/21/2017 7:19:00 AM How many times is Nature going to tolerate before She finally gives up on us.? Does Man deserve a second chance? He doesn't seem to be learning? Thought provoking Dearest Demetrios...Maria Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 7/21/2017 7:23:00 AM Well, my dearest friend, Maria, history shows that Man doesn't learn from his own mistakes! God will always give the chance but Man things he would trick even God! Thank you for your kind visit and comment!
