Jack Ellison Poet Narrative

The Nature of Nature

There's one thing that's certain in this big world of ours

You can never count on things staying the same

It's an ever changing scenario this thing we call nature

New rules are being applied to the game

Norms and patterns that have applied for a century

No longer apply in the world of today

The nature of nature is very quickly evolving

We can no longer rely on the norms of yesterday

It's really quite difficult for our small human brains

To accept this and carry on like it's not unusual

Depending on how old we are, exponentially speaking

We're rapidly heading toward a life that's irreversible

So when I think about my age getting close to eighty

Am thankful for being born way back then

Happily this old geezer will be gone and forgotten

With this strange new world I won't have to contend

Carol Eastman March 20, 2015 at 12:15 PM Nature doesn't have a nature... It has a Gol Darn agenda... And by the way... My Dad keeps saying the very same thing... About not having to be here to contend... R.I.G.H.T... He'll be here long after I'm gone and beyond that... Silly bear... That's what ALL old folks say... So don't back slide into mediocrity... or was that just you... taking a momentary breath? Jack Ellison March 20, 2015 at 12:24 PM That was just me taking a momentary break from all those silly lims! xxx
