A Rabbits’ Rainbow
A cloud wept. Rain tear-dropped down.
Then Sun smiled, shining love. A rainbow arced
High above a green meadow, where rabbits grazed.
Nature smiled – but Mankind scorned.
Too many rabbits were being born.
Nets, traps, ferrets, dogs, snares.
Guns, gas - ruthless myxomatosis
Shared in bobtail's decimation.
Extermination was the aim:
To kill the flop-eared population.
The reason – greed and gain.
Then smothering, strangling, vegetation
Soared in excess beyond imagination.
Exasperated farmers panicked, held consultations.
Politicians wooed their congregations.
So they struggled, planned, formulated ways
Of extending poor Grass-cutter's days.
Belatedly, a plan of action appeared to curry satisfaction.
Genetic engineers cried, “Look,
A shower of Does. Not a single buck.”
To rid the land of unwanted growth
Without a naturally multiplying mass.
Alas - how crass.
Farmers, citizens, now agree. ‘This situation should not be’.
After ‘progress,’ – hindsight, realization.
We cannot run Nature, but let her guide.
If Nature ‘runs wild’, we must watch by her side.
People in profusion, must accept my own conclusion:
None own this earth. That's just an illusion.
We must let nature flourish – without our intervention.
Revolving, reversing, reverting. Returning again,
Evolving a new beginning. Always swinging full circle.
Completing life's rainbow-ring, through rain and shine.
I pray Nature's way will be yours, as mine.
We are but visitors, in a universe of expanding time.
Leave Mother Nature alone ~ let her do her thing for all things ~ great or small.
