Selfish

E - Everyone

In My Poetry

Everyone thinks paper and ink are beautiful,

but somehow everyone forgets that hands are the ones that do that magic.

Humans are the ones who gave names and purposes to everything.

Without humans, nature might be safe and beautiful, but without them, how can anyone know that nature exists?

It was a human who even gave nature the name "nature," yet somehow, humans seem selfish to every eye.

What beautiful imagery. I love this perspective; it is true that humans create beauty. But isn't nature also beautiful? Nature knows, itself that it exists. My favourite line is: 'but somehow everyone forgets that hands are the ones that do that magic.' Aren't humans magical?

I would say humans are selfish by nature. But if I say that I think you would argue with this so I'm not saying it.
My favorite lines are

"Everyone thinks paper and ink are beautiful,"
I'm saying that paper and ink are beautiful when used for creativity if it's used for schoolwork it's a mess.
The lines I want to agree with are

"Without humans, nature might be safe and beautiful, but without them, how can anyone know that nature exists?

It was a human who even gave nature the name "nature," yet somehow, humans seem selfish to every eye."
Humans are selfish to every eye. And humans are actaully the ones that destroy nature yet I think nature would still exist even without us.And how do we know that humans gave nature the name "nature"



"The trouble with Borrowing another mind was, you always felt out of place when you got back to your own body, and Granny was the first person ever to read the mind of a building. Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages. 'Are you all right?' Granny nodded, and opened her windows. She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
— Terry Pratchett, Discworld: Equal Rites
