Ode To Creation

From Nature we are born,
from Nature we live,
from Nature we die,
and are reborn again
as lowly bacteria
with no purpose
but to fulfill the cycle;
the perfect cycle.
From Nature we breathe,
yet everyday we drive 
the cars that Nature 
provided
only to destroy itself;
from Nature we drink,
yet everyday we litter with the
paper and plastics that Nature 
provided
only to destroy itself;
from Nature we love,
yet everyday we build the weapons 
that Nature provided
only to destroy itself;
from Nature we hate.
