Nature

They say some things come naturally,
And that other things don’t.
They say some things are natural,
And that other things are artificial.
But no.
All things are natural.
They say some things are as God intended,
And others are not.
But all things are natural.
The crops the clouds
the soils the sands
horizon, salt, ocean, sex, trees, stone, plastic,
All of it natural.
Snow, electricity, animals, death, birth,
iPhones, type writers, wine, forests,
The pollution the politics
the smog the sea
Radiation poisoning, cancer, fame, deceit, wealth.
Parties, loneliness, the universe, your bones, my heart.
laughter, smiles, fake laughter, fake smiles,
Love, Hate, and  Indifference.
It’s all natural.
And one day each natural thing
one by one
will end naturally.
And the nature we know
will die.
And a new nature of things
Will then take form.
