MAN VS NATURE /
Zine /
publication
+ photography

This zine was created with only a pair of scissors, typewriter, and a photocopier. Weaved through this publication is the poem Man vs Nature, written by Norman Littleford. The manipulated images comment on the idea that humans are extremely self-absorbed and egocentrical. The majority of our materialistic society do not care what is happening to the planet and world around them, since it doesn't affect them personally in the present moment.
MAN VS NATURE
Norman Littleford

The heavens roared with thunder
as lightning filled the skies
was this God getting angry
or Natures big surprise.

Is Mother Nature telling us
the best way that she can
to stop the interference
and abuse she gets from man.

We marvel at her beauty
each time we look around
then dig up all her treasures
from their natural burial ground.

We forget that Nature gives us
all that keeps us living
we take it all and still want more
but never think of giving.

We build across the countryside
progressing every day
but Mother Nature can't progress
for man is in the way.
