Whom Serves...Whom Taketh Away

Imagination's ingenuity
ushered forth from minds acuity
creations utility which flows fluidly
unhampered by ungracious cruelty

A worm of earth produces role
lower organism such as mole
without the tree provideth air
do we as human dare to care

Nature provides for all on earth
our mutual response to each in worth
despondant are those whom dominate
believing nature to serve which they create

The highest organism we as human
of role and purpose mediate numen
natural cycles clear distinct....
.....must be mindful avoid extinct....

So much truth shared in this poem. The last line leaves the reader with something to think about--an asset for any poem. Nice use of imagery to forward your thoughts. Keep on writing! Best wishes. Karen
