The 'Poem A Day' Project ~ Day 163 Poem by Flying Lemming

Some times we get complacent, we think we are on top
That humans are the rulers of this planet
But though we are resourceful and seem never to stop
We’re not the ones who long ago began it
Nature’s always been around before and after us
Surviving anything that dares hit it
Quietly evolving and proceeding without fuss
And if its tired it never will admit it
When we build upon it, or plunder for our gain
It just moves on and grows in whole new ways
Birds made homeless soon settle once again
And any time the human race strays
By over decimating with arrogance and pride
It occasionally still shows who’s in charge
With flood or tornado from which we cannot hide
Showing its power strong and large
But it’s the little signs that get noticed by me
That show that nature's fight is still alive
And it always makes me smile whenever I see
A green shoot popping through a tarmac drive
