Debating Nature

Nature has no designs in her
universal blueprint management
toward moderation. And we 
humans complain bitterly to our
imperious landlady, but she is
stalwartly impervious to our
pleas. She can, with good reason,
point out that the covenant of
the Golden Mean is a human
construct, nothing to do with her
style of command and existence,
so in our sanctimony groans about
the unfairness of her indifference
to human suffering at avalanches
earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
tsunamis, tornadoes, cyclones
and droughts, famine or floods
she shrugs, advising us to examine
our pathetic record on moderation
resulting in deliberate suffering
imposed on our fellow man
because of greed and malice,
jealousy and hatred leading to
conflict and imposed migrations
if not mass surrender to death.
