Without Condition

In spite of man’s blind ambition,
nature allows our existence
with or without our assistance.
The earth loves without condition.

Unconcerned with disposition,
we waste the bounty of the land
as though, by right, we had command.
The earth loves without condition.

Yet our innate intuition
should warn us that there is an end.
We see the omens that portend.
The earth loves without condition.

Through loving acts of commission
we can return the care that’s shown 
and, perhaps, our demise postpone.
The earth loves without condition.


Notes
Form: The Kyrielle form is very flexible, in that there are only three basic rules: (1) written in rhyming quatrains (4-line stanzas), (2) the last line of each stanza is repeated throughout the entire poem, and (3) each line has only 8 syllables.
