Nature and the Wheel
For Endless eons and centuries
Mother Earth lived naturally
Though she didn’t give equally
But balanced what she gave
The wheel when it came
Took from here and there it gave
Blind to balance, prone to greed
It caused inequality
Creating masters and slaves
My choice for this weeks challenge “Two subjects” – Nature and wheel. One natural, god’s gift to all humanity. The other man made, probably man’s biggest innovation till date. Nature makes no distinction between people of any caste, creed, gender or race. On the other hand the wheel, symbolizing transport in all forms, brought with it great opportunity for sharing and exchange. But fell pray to human greed becoming instead a herald-er of inequality. Transporting resources and fruits of labor without adequate compensation, thus creating a chasm of the haves and the have nots! the developed and the undeveloped! the takers and the givers! the rich and the poor! the masters and the slaves!

its a matter of perspective laura… it could be viewed as an un equalizer or an equalizer too.. depending on what your mood is at the point or your perspective!! thanks for stopping by
