Mother Nature Knows

Mother Nature know
that in the circle of life,
each creature
has its place;
each living thing
runs survival’s race.

Mother Nature knows
that only one species has the power
to rise above her laws;
only one species has the freedom
to chose its destiny
and either rise above its flaws
or surrender to its greed.

Mother Nature knows
that only humanity
can discover all her secrets,
and thus
destroy the environment
or create paradise.
