Mother Nature Mother Board
One sister is wise
And infinitely older
The other is recent
And still learning
At one time she
Was admired and respected
But now the golden child
Takes all the love for herself
With waterfalls she
Creates a rainbow
The other uses pixels
In which we can view anytime we like
One kills thousands with wind and rain
To gain attention
While the other
Simply shuts down
One was original
Appearing at the very first
The other was a jealous girl
A half baked idea
The hippies will eat all organic apples
on their way to the Apple store.
At the same time we poets type on our keyboards,
"And oh how the seagulls soared."
We can't pick our family.
We love them both.
