Paradox II

Paradox of our intelligence, so grand,

Yet our impact on Earth, like shifting sand,

Escaping from ourselves, a constant demand,

While our consciousness, with nature, does stand.

Most intelligent species, we claim our place,

Yet our planet’s plight, we must face,

Can we survive without Earth’s grace?

Paradox of existence, a cosmic race.

“Paradox” explores Africa’s boundless link,

With nature’s rhythms, in every wink,

A tapestry of landscapes, from desert’s brink,

To rainforest’s depths, life’s interlink.

Celebrating Africa’s nature’s embrace,

Human-environmental ties, in grace,

Yet challenges rise, a troubling space,

Deforestation’s toll, pollution’s trace.

Reflecting on human activities’ plight,

Threatening ecosystems, in day and night,

Balance with nature, a delicate kite,

Paradox of stewardship, in Earth’s light.

“Paradox” calls to action, loud and clear,

Preserve Africa’s beauty, hold it dear,

Sustainable practices, the path to steer,

Interconnectedness, let us revere.

Contemplate the dance, humanity and Earth,

Symbiotic bond, of infinite worth,

Africa’s nature, a treasure trove’s girth,

Paradox of preservation, our planet’s rebirth.

Celebrate Africa’s unique tale,

With nature’s harmony, we set sail,

Responsibility, let us not fail,

Paradox of preservation, our universal trail.
