Nature's Alibi

Delighted by a rippled sky in layers of a parfait pink I wonder nature’s alibi and how it always makes me think For though I see its wondrous hues through eyes that show me of its grace I know that it is everywhere in every person, thing or place To what amazement, I am bound in trying to respect its rule In realizing that the world is just its subjugated fool Yet nonetheless, its beauty reigns in mountains, rivers, forests green In every flower’s subtle scent in everything I’ve ever seen I wonder nature’s alibi though manifesting so much love It’s also holds the key to hate If only men could rise above
