SUMMER BREEZE
SUMMER BREEZE
A summer's breeze gently tells a lie
About how all nature is soft and kind
Yet underneath, where we don't see
There is no room for any sympathy
It is predator and prey, you will find
And at the very end, we all know why
Flowers reaching up for pollination
Colours and scents inspire even us
Sure, beauty can be seen all around
And with birdsong, a delightful sound
But a nest disturbed will cause a fuss
As it's all about the next generation
In an almost alien microscopic domain
Creatures exist down to just one cell
Organisms like bacteria, even a virus
Never referenced on ancient papyrus
For the more sensitive, it's a living hell
And use their poison to deter with pain
No surprise that nature has two sides
For humans, it is more than to survive
We believe that our species is distinct
As in addition to that primitive instinct
We can grow and learn, create and thrive
As in our souls, a potential for love abides
