Harried Society and the Voice of Nature

Society demands, upends
Threatening the loss of voice
Burying the vitality of self

Society wants your disease, craves it 
Needs you to submit in belief
That society is the only support

Nature quietly pushes its roots
Or sudden adjusts itself
Marked by essential movement

The water, the land, the fire of the sun
Are made for man's bounty
Are assembling constantly to provide

Living in sync with the sky
You are never forced to lie
To cheat, to steal, or to renege 

Nature knows itself in the love of days
Calling for us to follow its ways
