Nature Knows Best


When Nature and the rest of the world
Know that twilight is an hour of rest,
It makes me wonder why a voice is heard
And patience is put to test.

This seems to be the way where I live,
Since I have left the West;
For I may be sure that everywhere else,
People know what is best.

I heard them say, so often here,
That they will do what they damn please;
But will they ever learn that all their noise
Makes decent folks ill at ease?
Sociopolitical ode intended for the TheWriterGang light prompt this week. My comment is darker, because the noise persists. Line 6 translates from the local language.
