There are people - I won’t mention names
who really enjoy going out in nature –
they pack their six packs of beer
and their off-road bikes
and they really know how to live it up –
how to be a part of all that is:
Have a couple of beers,
get on the bikes
and roar off, throwing sand and mud
and destroying all natural habitat at hand
that nature has failed to safeguard
with unsurmountable obstacles.
Then it’s back to the pick-up truck
for another couple of beers,
a look at a skin magazine
and listening to the boom box
and off we go again: Oh what fun it is to ride!

Yes it’s obviously the good life –
for some, that is.
No one ever asks nature if it’s OK
to despoil her this way –
but then, no one ever asked her either
when a war is planned... and waged anywhere.
Nature, like woman, is there to be raped
and nature, unlike woman, says nothing.
Nature doesn’t ask for justice
from those who destroy her:
not because she is stupid
and not because she is afraid
but because her time frame isn’t that of humans:
there’s payback in the future, never fear
and although she is not vindictive
she has her cycles, her “periods”
and then she becomes quite *****y.

Earth changes?
humans, you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Yowl WindWalker,

Your poem is well written, and I love it. Nature is very whimsical, it just doesn't care.

Now pass me a brew.

Oh! Nature has her own words. Rape my land and a mudslide I will reap upon your humble house of clay. The seas will devour all in her path and cry.. rape my waters and I will
crumble your simple house of clay and wood.
Nature in all her fury or glory will have the last word about her destroyed lands.
Good Jobber
Hugs

It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature. You so know what you are talking about WindWalker.

Interesting write, and for sure some go over the line in disrespect, possibly not just disrespect for earth, but disrespect for law and order and others in general...
In the cowboy and indian days I'm sure that they tore up a trail or two, certainly in the days of covered wagons, that is the nature of progress, but there are a lot more of us now and it would be wise to consider the consequences...James
