Nature Is Stubborn

Nature Is Stubborn


See where its siblings are abundantly born
You will concede Nature is wisely stubborn;

On a parched desert that gives no reward
Cactus’s juicy, naked legs shoot upward.

Temperamental grass, like tresses or locks
Eke out a living breaking into hard rocks.	

Corals quarrelling with coldness of brine,
Sprout under water flowers of dazzling design!

Nature breaks every manmade barrier-
Would man heat and thaw Iceland glacier?

Scientists to genes’ inclination they follow...
They alter organs, yet to hormones kowtow!

We can easily alter every corporal activity
We cannot successfully tinker with gravity!

Another interesting write from you, my friend. Again, makes the wheels and cogs in my brain turn in thought :)
