Contrast

I saw a bee
I saw a bird
I saw a butterfly.
Each flew across the garden
Silent, harmless, good and clean
But far above a plane flew higher
Far from silent
Far from clean
Ruthless mankind’s smart intrusion
On God’s good and perfect scene.

Good one. We, humans always make things that interfere with the beauty of God's creation
