If we humans were to create the vast nature in a dream life
If we humans were to create the vast nature in a dream life,
A sky like a sponge would absorb the pollution spreading around,
Each day heavy with clouds that hide the divine brilliance,
The vastness of the sky would pale before our weary minds.
Perhaps we wouldn't invent birds, but silent drones for purposes
That wouldn't know the morning song, the free and unbounded flight,
Our preference for straight and uniform paths would flourish,
Where stops are already fixed, and the unknown becomes fear.
A monotonous gray sky would reflect our ashen thoughts,
And diversity would be a forgotten dream in the corners of closed minds,
For uncertainty is an unannounced storm that unsettles us,
And humanized nature would wear a veil of dark fog.
Perhaps Mother Nature would no longer wear rivers in her gentle hair,
Without the greenery that envelops her like a gentle cloak, without flowers,
Without the textures of mountains and valleys on her sun-kissed skin,
Only a robot would remain, functioning for our benefit.
In place of her warm smile, a cold plastic mask would reign,
And the ultimate goal would be serving a humanity lost in itself,
A mechanical world, devoid of the mystery and beauty of life,
Where nature would be just a tool, not a source of miracles.
Thus, in this world created by us, the magic would disappear,
Leaving behind only a melancholic longing for what we've lost,
In a stream of consciousness flowing like a river forgotten by time,
For we have forgotten to see beauty in divine imperfection.
