Man's Nature
by Alvin Benatovich - February 3, 1998
A drop of water
Can cloud the eye.
A raging torrent
Carves mountains high.
What diverse power
In nature�s realm
So Serene to that
Which can overwhelm.
Man by comparison
Is puny and weak
From nature�s anger
Safety must seek.
Yet still he struts
And plays the role,
Till nature�s fury
Takes awesome toll.
If history�s lessons
Man could learn
The riches of the ages
He would earn.
But never before
And unlikely today,
Man searches blindly
To find his way.
