Nature’s Heavenly Rainbow
Nature is as nature is, without judgment.
Mankind is as mankind is, full of judgment.
Nature sows and mankind reaps.
The one as giver and the other as receiver.
Nature gives without expectation of recompense.
Mankind receives and remains in greater expectations.
Nature seeks only to be pleasing.
Full of judgment, mankind’s acts are oft displeasing.
Nature regards its offerings as a cornucopia.
To be harvested without bickering.
Every living form are its investments.
None the greater and, more so, none the less.
Mankind sees this wealth as human resource.
Economic gain for distribution.
Some more deserving, and some even less so.
Choices to be made by those decreed with wisdom.
Nature looks upon the acts of mankind.
Choosing warfare over peace.
Squabbling over nature’s offerings.
All for sake of human desire.
Chaos soon supplants the order of a universe in balance.
Judgments of mankind are often made precariously.
Concerning what is ‘right’ and what is ‘wrong.’
concerning what is ‘good’ and what is ‘bad.’
Nature observes all; not judging.
Only finding ways to restore balance.
Her heavenly rainbow offering ‘episodic foresight.’
To restore her handiwork to pristine state.
