LORD GOD AND MOTHER NATURE
Lord God now starts to construct Planet Earth.
All goes well and he sees the potential.
He discusses this with Mother Nature
Who ponders for some millions of years.
She decides that the Earth needs forms of life.
God considers her plan and he agrees.
Now she works on ways of achieving this
And many more millions of years go by
As she begins evolving living cells
That are capable of producing offspring.
Some more millions of years now go by,
Time for plants and animals to evolve.
The plants make oxygen for animals.
Animals make carbon dioxide for plants.
A perfect equation for life on Earth.
Now comes cocksure man to change the game.
Re-writing rules he topples the apple-cart.
In just a short time he corrupts the lot.
Lord God and Mother Nature now step in.
Should they rid Earth of mankind and his mess?
