Along The Line Man Became Civilized


Behold the beauty before me
brushed swept sky’s of crimson hues. So
tenderly the orb of day
embarks upon its journey steadily
coming guaranteed.

Whimsical breeze dancing
through semi baron trees tossing brightly
colored leaves into the air
for one last dance.    

Coming awake Nature stirs,
soft melodies begin to fill stilled air, upon
the ground dew kissed, the
creatures of the land tip toe with
careful step.

Humanity of yet does not own
this day, the moment belongs to serenity
and enables those who wish
to enjoy the awesome beauty beheld before
them in complete peace.

If not for what man thinks
is important they earth would dance in
sheer delight before us day
and night, but some were along the line
man became civilized.

The moral intellectual
achievement’s of mans culture has destroyed
and pushed Nature to the brink
of none existence and calamity. Becoming
masters of the earth rather
than partners has actually ensured are
downfall and demise.

Forgetting that if cherished
Nature could sustain life completely
and fulfill your hearts
desires with pure joy and contentment.

By meager means man could
exist, dwelling in harmony and the spirit
could grow to its fullest
with just they abundance the earth
has to offer.

But some were along the line man
became civilized.

“Oh” to contemplate what “if”
we took a different path, made different choices,
what if!

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to kind of explain myself a little here OK, I don't mean in this poem that we would of been better off as cave men, rather if when we were becoming civilized we would of taken more care of our earth and made some smarter choices along the way to ensure that this place of beauty would be here in all its splender for ever, its so wonderful to be able to enjoy the beauty and splender, I hope that all in the future have this same chance.

Thank you, Cerenity

right on!! You have to sneer at man's so called progress. it seems anywhere you find "civilazation" you find destruction,and it's very sad. *sigh* humans are a cruel race.
