Mike Gentile Poet Rhyme

Nature's Alibi

Delighted by a rippled sky
                            in layers of a parfait pink
I wonder nature’s alibi
              and how it always makes me think

For though I see its wondrous hues
       through eyes that show me of its grace
I know that it is everywhere  
                   in every person, thing or place

To what amazement, I am bound
                         in trying to respect its rule
In realizing that the world
                           is just its subjugated fool

Yet nonetheless, its beauty reigns
              in mountains, rivers, forests green
In every flower’s subtle scent
                        in everything I’ve ever seen

I wonder nature’s alibi
                though manifesting so much love
It’s also holds the key to hate
                       If only men could rise above
