Nature's Birds and Bees

Better the world has them, than not,
Irrespective of allergies and simple human ignorance.
Rightly, nature can claim her place,
Directly above us, next to us, all around us, if she wants to.
She has the freedom to choose.

And she places herself in our daily lives,
Never letting us forget her presence,
Despite our growing lack of appreciation for her.

This used to be her world, after all,
Her creation and destruction were the only rules here then.
Evolution has a history. Life has an origin. We should remember that. 

Before buildings and industry and civilized society,
Every man was a part of nature, was a part of her world.
Every man was born as wild as the birds and the bees.
So, let us share this world wisely.
