The Laws Of Nature

My response to "homosexuality breaks the laws of nature".

“To break the laws of nature” -What an idea!

For nature is not a suggestion, but a law

We obey.

If longing is not nature,

Then dreams are but fantasies

And the throbbing in our chest

We feel,

Feels no pain.

Then the warmth I feel

Are but ghosts upon my lips.

My very existence, threatened,

By wandering eyes.

For where my eyes wander

“Break” the laws of nature,

That of which cannot be broken.

It is the Law that governs

The direction which

The sky creatures fly,

And the way we dance in our

Corner of the universe.

But I break the Law,

I am told.

I do not exist.

And so, to the Law, I give

My fictional kiss.

I love your perspective in this :)

A stirring and splendid poetic tribute to Mother-nature her very self !

There is so much Eastern and Western philosophy in this, it is so direct it makes a reviewer ask one or three questions. But the flow brings me to ask if there was a Muse. It was a wonderful read.

Thank you very much! and I actually got the idea from the whole Natural Law Theory of morality. One of the biggest flaws with that moral theory is that it's very hard to define what exactly is considered natural and whether being "unnatural" is really immoral in the first place.

Excellent "response"...and who said that? Man wakes up in the morning and breaks the laws of nature with his wars, his greed and hunger for power, his cigarette smoke and his self-serving, narrow mind that sees only his own kind, color, religion, beliefs and what links to back to narrow little box of personal approvals... oops, sorry. Don't get me started.

Thanks for the share

No problem! It was my response to something I read about the laws of nature. It said that the "laws of nature" aren't something that you can break. That's why they are laws of nature. If you can break them, then they weren't really laws of nature in the first place. It's not as if you get penalized for "breaking" these laws.
