Kris, I read your thought-provoking poem CUCKOO'S BABY, and I agree that nature can be cruel (or seemingly so). And yet, as your words suggest, nature is finely balanced, and we tamper with that balance at our peril. Mankind has tried to put his/her own stamp on the order of things in this world, and those attempts are always fraught with danger. Species become endangered due to the interference of mankind. Over-hunting, and destruction of natural habitat, have led to the extinction of a number of species over the centuries, and this is still happening. Thankfully, there are a growing number of people who are now focussing on wildlife preservation, and maintaining natural habitat. But clearly the battle is on-going, and more needs to be done.
