"Fools"

Auctioned to the lowest bidder, man
Builds Death into the levees.  When will
They -- we -- learn?  History has laid waste
The best of intentions:  hurricanes
Blow; lakes and rivers rise, flooding the
Delta, time and again.  And yet, like
Ants, man swarms back, believing chaos
Won't repeat itself:  Fools.  Nature will
Always win.  We are not in control,
As much as we hate to admit it............

(c) 2007, Karla Dorman (1/24)

We hate to admit we don't have control of so many things; yet life still goes on and thank God we have a Redeemer Who loves us. Penned as your compassion and power!
Peace&Grace,

They should just level the areas taken by Katrina and start over on a higher plain, if possible...stay well...(hey, Karla, next snow you get, if any, make a snowball and bomb your sister, but don't tell her I said so...LOL) Ed & Ruf

As Susan's comments show, I too was thinking about the mudslides in California. But guess what? they keep on building their houses there. I never could understand that. Well done, Karla.

I watched a documentary about the mudslides in Laguna Nigel, Califotnia and the devastation there. How did Californians solve that problem...they shored it up , cleared the mud, debris and homes...built more. I'll be damned. What will be the news...again one day? When do we learn? Thanks for giving us reminders. One day it may sink in.
Love,
Susan

You are right, girl. We ARE NOT in control at all. It's scary actually. Sometimes I can't sleep for thinking about what we've done. Thank you, Karla. Love and peace,

Ever so true, Karla. Man will never learn. They just keep repeating the same mistakes over and over and over. You'd think they don't have a brain, or perhaps the area of rational though is defunct!

God Bless
Peace and love

It frightens me the way the selta got hit by hurricane over there...looking at it all from the other side of the world I was shocked that so little was done by your leader to help the people there.Yes,it will happen again and it may get worse...ants eventually move I think...people tend to have more hope than ants.
Nature and her might will win in the end and when that happens lets pray that there is a new better place for those poor souls to live.
Your great poem is true and powerful.
Love and best wishes
from kay.

Yes, Dear Karla, you are correct ... we are only caretakers in the Garden.

And we're not doing a very good job :(

God gave nature its own laws and when man disrupts these laws we can only expect disasters. Man is intelligent enough to realise where he went wrong, but economic needs blind him. Victor

True - nature will have it's way but we do not know where it will strike; Well not until now, We are given some warning about huricanes but not tornados and floods. Life is chancy--take it. Marguerite

When we wreck this planet, nature will say. "I'M BACK!"
We believe we have answers where we do not.
Good wake up call Karla..

So true but you will never convince politicians, who only seek reelection by keeping taxes down.
