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?
