Forest Creatures

  They've no doctors to alleviate pain
    nor nutritionists to stem weight gain

  No carpenters to build them a domicile
    or dealers to sell them an automobile  

  Neither bakers to bake them a birthday cake
    nor ministers to preside over their wakes... 

  Forest creatures, left to their own wiles
    find organic ways to overcome life’s trials

What I gather from this is the simplicity of nature compared to the over complexity of mankind to resolve task. Thank you for sharing... The animal world and insect world are more advanced than we are sometimes...

Hello, Gershon; your poem beautifully highlights the self-sufficiency and resilience of forest creatures. I like how it shows the simplicity and resourcefulness found in nature, contrasting with the complexities of human life. An insightful reflection on the interconnectedness of all living beings. - Blessings, Daniel
