Civilized Wilderness

It is the most basic world It has the coward and the bold The big and small The short and tall Creatures of all sizes None of us ever realizes Valuable lessons we need Our knowledge to feed From them and what they know And the respect we should show But arrogance took over our mind “Throw all abstract values you find” It was his one and only order But, we are all scared to cross that border But we are wrong, it is obvious To the truth, we are so oblivious "Foolish human that order defy What arrogance told you is a lie These values will help you mature Making your thoughts pure" Let me tell you what waits That will twist all your fates See that wilderness out there It is an honor we can’t bear Those in it live by the “one for all” code If they did speak to us, they would’ve told How to live in matrimony And everlasting harmony It is quite simple actually You can reach there factually Everybody carries out their task No one should ever slack For life will always continue You must work to get the revenue Even the predator and prey To the same lord they pray Both know they need one another Without one, there can be no other They prey knows it has to die To itself, it can’t lie It is a present to the predator to live Its conscience clear, it did forgive The predator is also the same To it, it is not a game Always goes for the mercy kill Cause the prey came of its own will You may think it is animalistic bitterness But it’s the beauty of civilized wilderness
