Nature Lives On

Us humans like all other life forms born to life to die one day
On all life death eventually does have the say
Though Nature the one true immortal forever lives on
She has outlived the age of the dinosaur in centuries long gone

Any life form as such death does not spare
The one who claims the life of the earthworm claims the life of the human billionaire
Many believe on an afterlife for the soul when the human body does die
But as is said what is true to some to others is a lie

Death claims the lives of the young and the old and those in their physical prime
And eventually we all become victims of time
And the longest lived human life in time not a long span
On average a few years more for a woman than it is for a man

And though many of us humans do not treat her as our greatest friend
For our very existence on Nature we depend
The one some refer to as Earth Mother the food we live on for us grow
Yet little in the way of respect many of us to her does show

The longest lived human life in time is not long
And those who think they are greater than Nature have got it all wrong
Us humans born to die but Nature lives on
She has outlived the last dinosaur in centuries long gone.
