Learn From the Greens
Out here in the womb of the wild, every creature knows its place.
Nature brooks no mistaken identity. Surely, everybody knows his suitcase.
There's no competition between trees and grass in nature; neither jumps down the other's throat.
Neither boasts of a top spot in the hierarchy of creation; neither takes the other's boat.
Both share a green identity; both are kitchens through which nature cares for her own.
Both share a common enemy; both sigh and groan when man's meddling takes its toll.
With this much similarities between these two greens, little wonder they live in peace.
Little wonder a forest radiates a sense of harmony and a feeling of bliss.
Well, man is a creature of reasoning. Surely he can learn a thing or three.
Made of one blood, according to the Holy Book, man shouldn't pursue harmony like it's out of reach.
Man shouldn't be divided over nature's resources like broom sticks scattered to pieces and cast to the wind...
Man is a creature of reasoning, no doubt. But is he ready to learn a thing or three?
