Nature In Captivity

Nature is in constant captivity.

Nature In Captivity

A breezy, soft mist of rain fills the air

Sweet air no one cares to breathe in

Yet all wildlife awakens

Breathing it in

Nature’s creatures are ready to live

Birds start humming quietly

The trees and leaves briskly moving

With the coldness of the whistling wind

As rivers flow rapidly through the forest

Noise that together makes

The forest more alive

This is a habitat

A home

Beautiful

Everything seems calm

Though it is screaming alive

Roaring dangerous

Sounds of nature fighting to survive

I am moving

Fighting with it, for it

Screaming danger

Fighting for nature

Hopefully wishing everyday

Of nature lasting

Just have hope they say

While they carry torches and saws

And weapons

But what good is hope now?

As nature

Endlessly is

Captive under human control

This is such a sad poem. I find it tragic how so many humans bite the hand that feeds them. Beautiful capture of a heartbreaking situation!
