DeliveranceA Poem by Mario VitaleBased on a true storyDeliveranceSurvival
Alone in the darkness predator-prey no decisions-instincts intuition independence Trees won't help you fight the wind their leaves will not battle the sun for you, nor will you help them Revenge is sweet but not to be shared An eye for an eye-a tooth for a tooth but trees and streams have neither eyes nor teeth There is no mercy in nature, she has no guilt-no conscience, there is only one side of her story There is no limitation here the trees stand tall with courage and the streams are quick with confidence Nature does not run from you nor does she run at you She can only stand waiting for the battle © 2017 Mario Vitale |
