What nature intended,
Man put asunder.
We travel through life,
As lightening and thunder.
With a flash and a roar,
Demands we will make.
But never a thought,
For the actions we take.
We kill and enslave,
Without any care.
For the lives of the others,
So desperate they dare.
Animals and people,
No difference it makes.
When wants and desires,
Is all that it takes.
If we want to live on,
Our species to thrive.
We need to believe,
That we all must now strive.
What nature intended,
Man looked on in awe.
Understanding then hit,
We are the flaw.

“We” are definitely the flaw. And yet we keep on abusing nature and all the gifts it provides us. Will we never learn?

Wise words, Pam. Fear of lack and self indulgence will be Nature’s demise. 😞

‘Mankind’ – including both sexes…is, too often, its own worst enemy, which is tragic.
