The World of Men

What did mankind do, to be living as we do.

Hear the rain fall from the sky
Watch the river as it slowly runs dry

Feel the wind blow through your hair

See the power of the giant bear

 

Nature does not set laws

The creation without any flaws

Atop the highest mountain peak

In the bottomless pit there are no weak

 

The woods do not follow rules

And so do oceans, rivers and pools

Our senses lost in this kingdom

The mind entranced with wisdom

 

Upon this planet I have come to live

Yet I shall never forgive

As our ancestors left their cave

Buried nature in her own grave

Do you mean "weak" referring to a plural noun? If so, it should read "there are no weak". There is no dog. There are no dogs. I can't tell your intention though. Maybe it's just me. I found it weird to say a mind is "engulfed" with "the" wisdom, but that's just my opinion. Now for the praise. I LOVE YOUR RHYME SCHEME AND METER. You have a real knack for poetry. Way to go Fabula!

Thanks to Maidahl I have changed the line regarding 'weak'.
