No Aberrations On Earth

Nature knows no aberration

Only balance, evolution

Allowing life anticipation

Blowing change to new solution.

Exception to this rule is found

Regretfully in Man's mistakes,

Reaction not response profound

All sets awry: Man gives not, takes.

Time's current watershed presents

Insight on human exploitation,

Only the peril represents

Nature's vengeance, for creation  

Sustained supposes self-respect

ON EARTH few choose, for most abuse unchecked.

Contest prompt Write something about nature, and it's aberrations.

    Prophecy of Nature

    Wake-up and smell the carbon-dioxide humans! Yes, this message was well written and the animation/pic underlines the point. It's the warning signs we pretend not to take notice of. Well written. Favourite lines: 12 & 13 "Nature's vengeance, for creation/Sustained supposes self-respect"

    I'm not usually a fan of rhyme, or acrostics, as they always seem to be forced, but that wasn't the case here at all! Thank you for this brilliant entry. Particularly love the first A and the S lines

    Nature is prefectly and completely balanced if left to its own devices and it is only man that upsets its natural course. We have abused unchecked for far too long and nature has a way of paying us back well for our blunders but perhaps mankind is learning at last that his mistakes have to be put right, though it seems we abuse faster than we care to repair.

    Maybe you should send this poem to schools, so that our children learn to respect nature...
    A very true poem, unfortunately for Mankind and its dream of allmighty power
