What Is Nature

CATEGORY

Views: 400

The birds know.

The birds understand their connection to everything.

They know what nature is, what it should be.

But now, they get confused.

The Industrial Age..The Information Age..The Wasteful Age

The birds get confused.

They think plastic bags are normal

Metal, rubber, and aluminum foil have become food

Human debris is mistaken for prey,

Ingested and passed on.

 

The birds know what that bright star in the sky does, how it affects them.

The birds understand cycles.

They recognize seasons, time, hot and cold.

They know where to go and how to survive.

But now, they get confused.

They wonder why the clouds are thin, transparent, flat.

They think strips of chemicals in the sky are a natural occurrence, an extension of clouds.

They see the little white balls that fall from the sky and think they’re authentic snowflakes.

 

The birds have mastered aerodynamics.

Reinforcement aids their flight

But now, they get confused.

They’re unsure of what the tall structures protruding out of the earth are

And the wires obstructing their airspace

They wonder where the giant, powerful creatures that fly higher and higher came from,

And what species they belong to

 

The birds know what nature is.

What it should be.

They realize that a change has taken place in the environment.

What do we know about nature
