fittest will survive
if believed to be doctrine
will man or nature?
it's a writing on the wall
some choose to turn a blind eye

The question is rhetorical
The question is rhetorical
Nature is time space and matter, Do rocks survive?
"some choose to turn a blind eye"....Here you make a point, but a point does not a poem make.
So now what?
Think: What of the power of language , texture , phrasing, mood, meter, etc.
thanks Zebra
for engaging with this write
as for your question "will rocks survive"? I guess they would if they're in harmony with nature
you may have read the tag line on nature.org which reads "nature doesn't need man, man needs nature"...this line carries a very powerful message, doesn't it?
