Defying nature!

Nature said, “Man, you can’t fly.
Man thought and gave it a try.
With utmost patience and spirits high.
Man tried, and finally touched the sky.

 Nature said, “Man, you have to walk, or run very slow.
And not be like an arrow, shot from a bow.
But just sometime after he took off the ground,
Man reached great speeds, even defeating the sound.

 Nature said, “Man, you have to die when you have to.
Or when some deadly disease touches you.”
Man conquered diseases, without nature giving any clue.
And is now on his way, to conquer death too.

 Nature said, “man, you have to be in your limits,
and stay close to me.
And neither go up in space, nor deep in the sea.”
But as man unlocked the nature’s mystery,
He felt, as if, a captivated bird, just set free.

And instead of flying from tree to tree,
Man leapt across to the space and even entered the sea.

 Nature said, “Man, I change and change for good.”
“Not yours, but for the good of the animals who live in the woods.”
Man learnt to adjust in nature’s every change.
And being unaffected, he’ll soon be out of its range.

 ‘Change is the law of nature’ is what they say.
And soon it’ll be the nature that follows,
As everything will go, the man’s way.
