Mother Nature

by Aken Sol   Oct 8, 2004


You bless us with
Fields of flowers, azure skies with
Fluffy clouds and warm sunlight
When you’re happy
With sheltering trees for shade
And soft grass beds
Nurturing us with luscious fruits

Then you kill us
With storms of
Sand, water, thunder, ice
Feeding us poison apples
Disguised as food
Tornados and hurricanes
Floods and disease
You bring us death
When angry

So we build walls
To protect ourselves
With our steel
And skyscrapers
We try to forget
With our materials
And we destroy
Us both

    lol, something about that poem seemed funny to me. Oh right, it was that it almost seems like the narrator is stating that the reason we are destroying ourselves is because nature can be cruel. Nature can be cruel, this is true, but I think our masochistic way of destroying everything around us is more our fault, not the worlds ;)

    Yes!! Nature bestows the greatest blessings and the worst wrath upon us. Our surroundings on this globe are never static. Man-made objects and technological pursuits intended to to overcome Mother Nature will one day be held up as an example of the folly that inspired them. It is a paradox that the more we know, the less we really know.

    Great work, well expressed.
