UNTITILED

Life is strange wouldn't you say?

The ups and downs

The s***s and the runs

The different parts of life such a mystery

We can't all control every single aspect of life

We just need to let go and let things loose

Yes, we may need to try control parts, but in reality, do we really have control?

(Barleygirl)

Humans are pathetic in their need to control.

 Look at how we've controlled the planet! Aren't we grand? Your beginning beckons me to wander into that "control freak" bastion of environmentalism, of course. 

Compare the way nature can adapt to whatever shitstorm we throw at her, compare that to the sad groping way that humans cannot be happy unless we feel superior & in command of everything around us. 

Author's Note

No clue what I wanted to call this, but I know it's not finished. The most random thought.... give me your ideas on life.....maybe I could add your words of wisdom onto this....make a giant collab. If that is okay with all of you guys?

Mother nature can't be controlled. She will always have the upper hand. I was reminded of a disused rail track where trees had seeded between the rails. Within a few years it was like a forest. The train track invisible to the eye. Humans aren't as clever as that. A thought provoking little write.

Don't worry dear Nomo. If man don't be kind to Mother Nature. He will pay. he is paying now. We need her more than she need us. Men are foolish. They forget. We need clean water, food and air to breathe. I agree with your logic and your thoughts.

The greatest freedom that I have ever known (which is what I'm currently living) came AFTER I took the long arduous journey of making myself STOP being a control freak. That's when my life began (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Would you be okay with doing a giant collab with this? Would you be okay with me adding what youv'e said to this? I feel scared asking because I don't know how people would react to adding something to this poem or doing a giant collab...

[barleygirl]

I think you should be brave & not fearful. Be experimental & let go of the outcome (the theme of your piece). I think a giant collab would be fun, but it could be cumbersome if you try to get all warm & fuzzy with everyone who joins in . . . you can't let everyone have editorial rights or this will turn into a nightmare. YOU need to be the editor. Don't ask for trouble. Just do what you think needs to be done & wait for people to complain (they probably won't).
