Stewardship of a Planet


 

The sheer unmatched genius of nature's 

creative energy is manifest in her love

of variety and the paramount choices

she indulges in her busy workshop 

balancing the chemistry of existence

against indifferent reactions manifest

in tolerance of her other creations in the

elements of time, space, vacuum, velocity

of light and her storied manipulation of

all she has created.  A work of awe and

delight, mysterious and inspiring. Immense

in totality and all-absorbing as she delicately

manoeuvres spheres with various attributes

consumed by the weight of responsibility

leading to attention lapses in monitoring

the fate of discrete creations. Did she know 

and does she care that her offspring serve

themselves so ill abusing and looting the

very foundations of their shared world 

in incremental steps destroying the unique

living legacy in stewardship of a planet?
