I Do Not Understand.

Goldfinch60



Man is destructive on many fronts,

People destroy so many things,

And I just do not understand.

Many saying it is for the better

And they are making progress.

But if it is something created by man

And it is destroyed

They say it is called vandalism.

But we live in Natures harmony

And have done from our beginnings.

But when man destroys something,

Something created by Nature

It is called progress.

Destroying Nature is abominable!

So remember when walking with Nature

Take nothing but pictures,

Leave nothing but footprints,

Kill nothing but time.

  • Violet bluebell( used to be yellow rose)

    I completely agree . A good writing ) I love nature and yes some people can be very selfish and cruel

    I like your last three lines in this poem

    We should definitely take care of nature ..but sadly some people don’t care enough

    • Goldfinch60

      Thank you Violet, I totally agree with your thoughts.

      Those last three lines are lines that I have seen as I have entered some natural spaces and are a quote I have used many times before.

                You’re listening to nature’s call and reflecting it back to us-We owe nature so much and she forgives eventually everytime-thanks for the write Finch.
