Human Nature

*Our belief in reincarnation is one example of our concern for the future. If you think that you will be reborn, you are likely to say to yourself, I have to preserve such and such. The idea of reincarnation gives you reason to have direct concern about this planet and future generations. --His Holiness Dalai Lama natural forces, living things dwell, spawn azure dome masks the sky, Her layered veil magenta-tip magnolias Her lawn whimsical Mother Nature, sings a tale ancient as sage, sea salt, oma, grand ’mere cradle us asleep, with your gentle waves majestic sails, devoted seas adhere protect us from your sprinkled sandy graves mother us with breeze kisses, cool us down giving what is needed through the seasons then material waste clogs, makes Her frown mankind’s catastrophic way, what reasons? the destroyers of water, land, and air will harmful ways ever end, can’t be sure watching what has been done, for She is there always greed, for this is human nature 7/20/22 2nd Place Nature Theme Poetry Contest by Constance La France
