Nature, the Egotist
I pray that Nature is no Egotist
That gets an A plus on a test
And doesn't study the rest of the term...
Though I don't judge,
(It's merely I),
You've been too poor
To not catch my eye...
You're assigned to give life
For this eternal term,
And making all perfect's
The rubric you've got,
But you've failed too many
To judge judgmental me,
Because you've born some
That can't even judge!
I thought you loved Art
And your every creation...
You forgot to make
The others hot like me
(Outside of the days
That they run in the Sahara)!
These very words, I can only imagine,
Are the words thought over the world and water---
You're full of yourself
To slack on them,
Just because you're proud that you made me.
