Quatrain of Natural Man

Natural - of nature

We consider all that happens upon
this earth, outside the human
preview, to be of a natural
cause,

But our creatural species evolved, as
naturally as the bear or tiger, and
brought reason to the mix of
laws,

We have become ashamed and
demoralized thinking all is clever
and good without existential
wisdom,

But it turns out, the earth would
just as easily self destruct without
one thought, or a human deed left
undone.
