Beauty's in the eye of the beholder
love is just something you give,
happiness is a personal pleasure
and life is just something you live.
All these things you are born with
to be used the best way you can,
all the complications in between
can only be caused by man.
Nature provides every species
with the needs for it's survival,
it even gave us the means
to produce each new arrival.
The animals use Mother Nature
and most will survive without doubt,
but if we consider they're in our way
we proceed to just wipe them out.
But it seems we're never satisfied
we have to be on the move,
like a virus destroying everything
and believing it's to improve.

Excellent Penning.
A divine right indeed. I loved the flow of the poem. I thought the metaphors accented the tone beautifully. You've got a talent. It was a bit too blunt for my preferential tastes, but you managed to keep my attention through the poem and I rather enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.

Too right!
When I read about the 'developing world' I want to shout 'No!!' as we know what the developed world has done to our planet!

indeed we are never satisfied,life is always so good to is but we are never satisfied,a very good theme,and a very thoughtful write,good work

Your point comes across strong here, a dig at us all, for it is us as a whole that destroy what's in our path to progress into our future more comfortable than ever before. At least that is the plan I think, yet are we any better than the generations before, in some ways sure we are, but than you could argue that life was better in the old days, like more freedom, more control of our lives and less stress. And yes I could go on but I don't want to bore you with my ramblings about the nature of us. Take care and good luck in contest.

Excellent
"Like a virus destroying everything." I think that does properly describe our species. Excellent penmanship, and I agree with the point you are making here.

very true
i find that the first stanzas are the best in most poems. yours is no different. i love as if you have all those sort-of half quotes. they are very whimsical, and sound as though they could be prompts for a contest. this is alright
-
Excellent!!! Last verse steals it for me and might I say your words ring very true. Super write...mal
