We Do Not Respect Her At All

Those who spend decades learning about Nature of Nature's ways will tell you they have much to know Her deepest secrets we will never learn of and our wonder of her only seem to grow One could live for a thousand years and yet not know all about her as her most precious secrets with us she will never share And yet in part due to us she does seem much the poorer as many of her life forms either extinct or rare Many of her waterways by us have been polluted our factories puff up black smoke to the sky Why do we try to harm the one who feeds us that is the question many have asked why Without us Nature would do nicely though for to live on her we do depend She supplies all of our needs for our existence though to her we are not a good friend In technology humans have come far and many human achievements are great But we've not been respectful to Nature and that's something we cannot celebrate But Nature she will live forever and like her Seasons we come to life and die Immortality for us Homo Sapiens has surely been based on a lie We depend on her for our very existence and our achievements to her seem so small And though we are one of her life forms we do not respect her at all.
