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
