Notes About The Poem

MAN AND LIFE

FROM MY ROOF GARDEN. PICTURE TAKEN BY ME. (c)

Man and Life

Man has spent lots of millennia

Striving his nature to improve

He seems to have managed only

Life from our planet to remove 






(c) Demetrios Trifiatis
        17 July 2016

*Hundreds of thousands of species have disappeared and more are about 
to take the road to oblivion because of Man's thoughtless interference in nature.

My friend, Probir, thank you so much for your kind comment. I would rather things were different so I wouldn't have to write on the subject!

Aah, this is such a true statement in itself. Man can be sometimes earth's worst enemy, I also agree whole heartedly, Demtrios. A 7 and a Fav.
