    A Spiritual Life

All of our self-focused
arrogance in the name
of desperate greed,
luxury, fleeting fame
    or glory
and all our machines
have had little effect
on the quintessential
laws of the universe.
That which remains
most truly ‘alive’
is the wilderness and
    love
These still stand as
the hope for a future
delimiting our real needs
and a calling  toward
a higher, spiritual life.

I absolutely believe in your thought within the framework of your poem. We are a superficial people.

Yes, beyond our material desires, a spiritual world waits to be discovered, just like the eternal Universal truths. The true wealth of Humanity is the intellect that allows us to explore the wonders that surround us and our own human evolution towards the respect of each other and of our Earth. When we awaken to Love, just as you say, we certainly will evolve faster ...

Beautifully said.
