Meddling With Nature

Why don’t we let things to be The way they were meant to be? We strive to thrive By a meddling drive Into Nature’s territory. Nature gave what Nature gave Why not preserve it and save? Instead we try To modify Play lesser gods who’re naïve. Trees we hew, gasses spew, Vanish’d is the mountain dew. Music is now what we make, No chirping birds by a placid lake. We devour the earth like the termites do! Fish and plants and bees and birds And of course domesticated herds Nature breeds Through cyclic seeds But for humankind, I have no words There’s no space for the human race, In high-rise cities we grope for place. From up on high Beyond morassed sky The sun just smiles at our errant ways And Nature smiles at mankind’s toils As laboriously the earth he despoils. Tsunamis and tremors, El Nino and Nina, Hurricanes like Rita and unforgettable Katrina . Nature, my dear, is beyond your wiles But have we discerned, our lessons learned? We get what we deserve, our desserts are earned We seek WMD, genetic research, Towards extinction we fervently search, We eagerly wait till to atoms we’re turned. Let the Lord be my Shepherd, let me not want. Let me say a prayer, not endlessly rant. With infinite love he can fill up your life, Let’s not test Him, (else be led to the knife!) Let’s be the sheep, and we shall not want
