A NECESSARY LONELINESS

look at the pic ... spot man's contribution to Poet Nature's natural beauty? On your way foul species!

I need to be away from you

Your greed and vanities' hot growth

O how I need to be away

As far away... So far away!

From you and you and you, yes you

As I may go this side of that

To find myself a better way

Away! away! away from you

And all your works and ugly ways

O how I crave to be alone

~

It was the swan upon her nest

Her nest of plastic bags and cups

I took the photograph in tears

For you to see just how we mar

~

this is a write I feel to the very core of me.
I have found in my time of being alone such peace from a world of deceit that abounds in a fraudulent world.
The last stanza completes this poem beautifully! ~ :-)

A curios take on an older experience where we read about keys, letters, pieces of clothing in the nest of birds....no doubt as we built more homes for human living. But the people of yesteryears would spin a fairy tale about it and enthrall us about the lives of birds. Could you do something about this? Nice write!

Ohhh dear goodness .. that beautiful creature seemingly at contented sleep. And there it lies with all the thoughtlessly discarded rubbish beneath and around it. Your words accompany the photograph brilliantly .. how ashamed we humans should be.

it is sad to see how our consumer society destroys nature.

but I have a feeling that eventually nature will destroy us, so I guess it all evens out lol

Greed seems to rule .. and we all lose in the end ..

This poem says it All for me! What a sad, sick society!we live in, nature beening destroyed before our very eyes. Oh how stupid they are! Wonderfully writtern from the heart, so powerful. Anyone with an ounce of sense will cry with you. Thank you.....

As in the photo a distinct dichotomy here between what you want and I think what she wants. Eloquent in the extreme.
