Some call me nature
Others call me "Mother Nature"
I′ve been here for over 4.5 billion years22,500 times longer than you
I don't really need people
But people need me
Yes, your future depends on me
When I thrive, you thrive
When I falter, you falter
Or worse
But I′ve been here for eons
I have fed species greater than you
And I have starved species greater than you
My oceans
My soil
My flowing streams
My forests
They all can take you
Or leave you
How you choose to live each day
Whether you regard or disregard me
Doesn't really matter to me
One way
Or the other
Your actions will determinate your fate
Not mine
I am nature
I will go on
I am prepared to evolve
Are you?
