Yet everything needs God who created it He is never still, moving in every existence Creating new universes as He want's.'

Nicely done, God created this planet and I believe God crated us for a purpose. The Planet may not need us but we are here.

Nature is self-sustaining. Without outside interference it can look after itself. It does not need mankind and his abusive ways of life. Flo, your poem says all this and more....thought provoking. Regards // paul

That last line is a keeper. The whole poem makes us THINK which is what we should be doing! But are we thinking fast enough? I hope so!

An important question; one to which I believe we already know the unfortunate answer. Thank you very much Caren

I agree that man takes this planet for granted In so many ways that I agree. God's planet doesn't need people. Nicely done.

I don't think he "needs" us, I think he "wants" us and we've taken his love for granted.

He put us here to oversee the animals and the vegetation. To be good stewards. I'd say we have failed miserably. Nice write, Flo:)
