Natural world

[Biggus]

They say nature is perfect
They say nature is beautiful
But they are so wrong
Nature is ugly and brutal
Oh it looks pretty in a picture
I quite accept it all looks nice
But don’t be fooled
Nature will kill you in a trice
It doesn’t matter where you go
If you look closely enough
Something is eating something else
Nature is cruel and tough
Its dog eat dog its bird eat frog
Its fish eat fish its whale eat seal
In nature it seems to me
Everything is some body’s meal
So don’t try telling to me
That nature is perfect and wonderful
I don’t need the natural world
I can go to London if I want brutal

I really love this piece. An ANTI-nature poem! I haven't read many of those. But it's oh, so true too. I love the turn of phrase with "bird eats frog" and the "Everything is somebody's meal", though I might amend "somebody's" to "something's".

solid work with a timeless message.

Thank you

This captures well my own annoyances about deep greens' romanticized delusions about a personified "nature."

[Biggus]

Absolutely

Thanks
