I'm one of the many who does love Nature though Nature does need every friend <br />Of late she is not looking healthy otherwise why should we pretend <br />That all is well in Nature's Garden when all is not well there at all <br />Our crimes against Nature are many and any crime against Nature not small. <br /> <br />For our senseless polluting of Nature the price yet may be huge to pay <br />To our Earth Mother the one who does feed us we act in a disrespectful way <br />We pollute our natural environment with the resources we steal from Earth Mother that does not seem clever to me <br />Leave Nature's precious resources with Nature at least that is how it should be. <br /> <br />Humankind as a species quite successful that does go without any doubt <br />Yet when I say to some we are not friends of Nature they say to me what are you on about <br />They see no wrong in digging up the ground for it's resources or stealing oil from the floor of the sea <br />They are entitled to their opinions though we all look at things differently. <br /> <br />The Polar ice caps slowly melting and climate change is Worldwide <br />the talks of an Economic Depression have pushed Global warming to the side <br />But the financial economy is built on Nature and to Nature all of us belong <br />And 'twould seem in our dealings with Nature that we have our priorities wrong.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/leave-nature-s-resources-with-nature/
