Warming Signs

Once man and nature, would co-exist
Working well with each other, each would assist
Nature providing, mans basic needs
Like fresh water to drink and rich soil for seeds

Man was respectful and would always repay
Cherished the Earth and never betray
He knew the fine balance he needed to live
That one just can't take, but also must give

Then something went wrong, with this bad breed
He became selfish, and no longer would heed
Declaring he was, the top of the chain
The delicate balance, he'd no longer maintain

Earth became angry, and storms would erupt
Wanting to rid, of this species corrupt
Man and technology, soon found a way
Although his demise, he'd only delay

I wonder how long, before he would see
What other living things, seem to agree
If he keeps going, on his greedy course
Earth will destroy him and feel no remorse
