Indigenous To This?

Indigenous To This?

A Poem by Ekai Stone
"

I had just finished a documentary about the environment and I wrote this out of frustration.

"
I know whereI I wan to live,
the forest.
Where is one even? Go-figure.

Indigenous to this?
I didnt ask for this.
Mother nature knock down the powers in these towers.
Bring a shake, bring a tear, maybe both
Just make them disappear
I want you, I want life. 

Inanimate has taken its toll,
Materials are old
Only tool I need is a knife to cut the doe and fight off the foe
Only cloth I need is the one warm enough for the snow

New civilization, we're ready.

This holds so much truth. There are plenty of days were it would just be nice to go back to the simplicity to how life use to be, or so it seems (the grass is always greener). I liked your first stanza "the forest. Where is one even?", some times things do seem to be evolving to quick for our own good. Very well penned.

I met this guy who was visiting the Seattle area, he was from Texas, he couldn't believe how many trees there were. "You live in a forest!" he said, and I laughed, because I remember when I was little there were many more trees that had since been cut down to make way for all the new stores and strip malls. New waterfront homes with exorbitant price tags that the owners would never truly enjoy because their lives would be spent on the road or in some office...

I really enjoyed this, it spoke about a subject dear to my heart. Thank you!

didnt ask for this.

"Mother nature knock down the powers,

in these towers.

Bring a shake, bring a tear, maybe both

Just make them disappear.

I want you, I want life.
