Tribute to Mother Nature.



Gone are those days when nature was nature and things were normal as Mother Nature designed them to be.

Animals such as cows, goats and sheep were raised with painstaking patience and the meats and the other stuff derived from them were nourishing to the body. Fruits and vegetables such as oranges, tomatoes and spinach were organically grown with all the patience nature required and these products, in turn, were used to raise healthy, vibrant kids. Those were the days when men were men and women were women. Everyone grew up and operated in line with the dictates of Mother Nature.

But then came a great clash between Mother Nature and Science. It was like the mythical battle between King Kong and Godzilla. In this case though, the loser was (and still is) Mother Nature. A major consequence of the battle-wearied nature therefore is a world turned upside down.

In the western hemisphere and in the United States for example, high-tech farms are performing agricultural “miracles” all over the nation.

Now calves are being “treated” scientifically to become full-grown, monstrous-looking cows within a few weeks. The same “urgently-produced” cows will produce some “kind of milk” that are subsequently turned into powder and fed to human babies who unwittingly are deprived of natural breast milk by their mothers.

Hens are now scientifically made to produce eggs without mating with roosters. The eggs are then hatched into chickens by incubators. Going further, the chickens are soon genetically “blown up” with their thighs so huge as to be confused with those of a turkey.

And not forgetting vegetables. These days, tomatoes and green peppers are forcefully “grown” into caricatures of footballs.

Sadly, the multiplying effects of all these abundant “strange” food products of the modern times are a different breed of humans. Now, there are too many young people who act and look just like the food products they consume.

Very much like the genetically-produced and abnormally huge cows, chickens and vegetables, we now see young men and women who look very “strangely” cute but are absolutely weak physically, mentally and emotionally.

It’s worse for those raised entirely on cow milk instead of the natural milk from their mothers’ breasts. These are the full-grown men who not only act with animal traits or instincts but also lack “spines” as real men do and speak with feminine voices. On the other hand, the women turn into drama queens, they throw childish tantrums and they begin to experience menstruation at the age of 10. 

All of this therefore reminds me of the song, “Supernature”, written by Marc Cerrone, Lene Lovich and Aain Wisniak and produced in 1977. The song had a sci-fi theme about certain mutant creatures created by some rogue scientists to work against the humans.
