Is This What We Seek
is this what we all seek
to be one with nature
well I offer you this peek
this a contrived feature
what it shows nature meek
fauna, flora. many a creature
a love for all life a tet a tet
with nature a dialogue
it will tell us it is not malicious
not with intent. a prologue
to times, I think meretricious
the season's loss of wolog
attributed to climate change
the earth tilting it is the cause
climate warming, we are to blame
if it was just a sort of menopause
it's not and worse it won't change
so let's all take the time, enjoy
natures music while we can
the birds, bees, all life, its ploy
modesty a word invented by man
humans in the northern hemisphere
wore clothes for protection, the plan
religion introduced bodily fear
look around at animals, their coats
did it also suggest we cut our hair
why do we slit our own throats
metamorphically of course
but human life is but a metaphor
freedom once, but we lost its source
in nature, we will find it's core
it is called harmony, peace
a life we once lived long ago
we all hold the key for its release
together turn it, let's make it so
nature waits to see us all smile
to live with her, not ignore
we know it's been awhile
to live with nature as we did before
