A New Eden for D.L Paget

poem in rhyming quatrains

 

 

A new Eden

 

This world’s a paradise again.

The race of man has been erased.

Replaced by beings far more sane

than humankind was as a race.

 

A warlike and pugnacious breed.

 Who would  not live by Natures rules.

 has been wiped out root, branch and seed.

 Ma Nature has no time for fools.

 

She warned mankind time and

That they must change their ways or die

they treated warnings with disdain

Because they saw no reason why

 

They should not seek to dominate

.Impose their will by use of force

Did not accept until too late.

That humankind had run its course.

 

Another failed experiment

Which Mother Nature brings to a close.

It did not work as it was meant.

As damage to the planet shows

 

It will take time to recreate

Conditions as they ought to be.

Now Mother Nature’s cleaned the slate.

She can react quite ruthlessly.
