GOOD and BAD

There seems to be a discrepancy
about what is good or bad.
It depends upon who you are
and what it is you have had.

Good to some is the nature of things
and how it makes you feel.
Bad to some is how nature sings
because they want to steal

the beauty of it for their own vicious use.
And good to them is all their abuse
to things that grow and things that thrive
and so they apply their ruse.

The thievery of resources for greed and wealth,
The teaching of lies to ruin your health,
The addition of poisons in what you eat,
The killing of wildlife whose lives they cheat,
The excuses for nuclear energy
to power what we could have for free.

So good, bad what does it mean?
Not too much in our everyday scene.
Nature's been taken for granted today.
But always nature will have the last say.
