There is an allure in the way nature affects nature;
The tree rustles as the wind blows;
The bird chirps in response to its equal;
The dog barks when he senses his foe.
The natural world is reactionary;
It is adaptable.
Yet in the midst of this beautiful symbiosis,
A mechanical motor hums to its own design.
There is no give-and-take;
There is no yin-and-yang.
There is only power, brute force.
Proceed with caution,
For that which is artificial does not rely on the Universe’s cadence;
And it has no remorse for the ruin it lays waste.
Humans can attempt to feign godliness;
But they will never surmount the One who orders the rhythm of creation.
