Nature Psychosis

She was born a rebel, instinctively
angry, taking righteous umbrage
wherever she could. And she
could, skilled as she had become
in selecting the weapons to
enhance her war chest, enabling
her pursuit of entitled rage, for
her object was no less sacred
and over-arching than saving
the world from itself. The
world of nature's other animals
innocent of intent to harm and
manipulate have their champion
in her, though they are oblivious
and that's a mercy. The science of
the natural world is lauded
indeed worshipped while the
world of human-interfering science
is scorned and derided, the two
polarized, incompatible as 
human science sets out to destroy
the genius of nature's ineffable
brilliance. She rides to the rescue
bearing posters of condemnation
writing polemics of blame
recruiting others infected by her
screeds, bemoaning the scientific
industrial complex whose credo
she claims is financial gain in
lock-step with hobbling natural
processes. Her rationalized dissection
of government-fuelled advances in
medicine, technology and through
deciphering our place in the universe
a vast conspiracy pitting those with
true values against the uncaring majority.
