If nature was, as was intended,
'til man stepped in and tipped the scales,
then where would nature be right now,
instead of where it is?

If nature never meant to change,
but did so just to counter man,
then where would nature be right now,
if now had never come.

If we believe in nature changing,
changing to exist tomorrow,
then we accept that nature changes
to accommodate today.

But nature, never fooled, demands we change,
or give in to a lost tomorrow...
for man or beast has no lasting effect
on nature changing, anyway.
