Why challenge Mother Nature, man, in vain? <br />Accept her superiority and pow’r; <br />One can’t traverse with equal speed each lane; <br />Take blame for every flood, wind, drought and show’r! <br /> <br />When hot, the excess steam must be let off; <br />When cold, one needs to cover to gain heat; <br />When Nature’s in a furious mood, don’t scoff; <br />Find solutions better and don’t retreat. <br /> <br />When Nature sends a breeze, man loves her touch; <br />When Nature blows a wind fierce, men rant, rave; <br />Yet, Nature balances her acts so much; <br />From natural disasters, man ought to save. <br />Align with Nature: Love the way she works; <br />But cursing God brings man more Nature’s jerks! <br /> <br />Dr John Celes 9-6-2005<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-don-t-blame-nature/
