Nature Knows 02 - Man Knows Not Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Nature Knows 02 - Man Knows Not
Nature knows
what is better for Her.
I would say, believe it or not,
dinosaurs were eliminated
because Nature decided so,
meteors or no meteors.
She can do the same
with man, too.
For, Nature surely survives
with man or without him.
It's in the interest of man
that he keeps his hands off
and leaves Nature
to Her own designs.
" Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree, If mankind perished utterly; And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn, Would scarcely know that we were gone."… Sara Teasdale in "There Will Come Soft Rains"
You are absolutely right. Nature can survive on its own. For this meaningful and relevant poem top marks and to my favourite
If you tamper with nature, it will hit back in a collossal way. With so many natural disasters, still man interfere with nature.
Well said, dear Poet Unnikrishnan! Nature knows all but Unfortunately, man knows not.

A very discerning poem. History shows how powerful is Nature and what it can do to humanity. We have been relying on Mother Nature for sustenance since time immemorial.It is incumbent upon us to respect and protect her.
Nature with its myriad flora and fauna shall survive millions of years after man has perished. Man, at the apex of the evolutionary hierarchy has little room for genetic adaptation, while most others …
2) while most others may adapt themselves to the changing environment. Even when the sun gets hotter, such life firms will survive for many million years, even without liquid water and at temperatures soaring above one hundred degrees Celsius.
3) and then earth May become totally inhospitable to any life form. But then, other life firms with less complex genetic makeup will find it easier to migrate to newer planets that might be hospitable for them. Again man faces genetic disadvantage.
