Letting things be came quietly - not from a raucous
debate on Nature’s way & hardly relevant in a case
we’re seeing first hand - more a residue of the droll
belief humans do better; as they say, you wait long
enough - haply a couple of millennia, and evidence
of homo-sapiens fades to a quirky hubris you’d see
as extraneousness if you’re not too self-centred, &
that you’d only accuse Nature of metaphorically
Who came first - if ‘who’ is relevant to what birthed
this egocentric race of human indolence; evidence
suggests we came after ‘chemical’ stew produced
most everything else - yet our intransigence is still
that of supreme, self-belief - until Nature diligently
repairs it, which, so far, she’s always done quietly
