Inept Instinct

  Right now I want the forest, I want the rain.

I want to find instinctual man, the part of us we lost.

To loose control, better yet to give it up.

To release dominion and let instinct take over.

Right now I want to be truely free, truely to be me.

 

 

  I want to be free from the burdens of modern life.

To be the way man was meant to be.

To harbor no grudge against a blind society.

I want to live in piece away from all these bindings and trappings.

Right now I want the forest, right now I want the rain.

 

  I'll take the mist among the limbs, let the rain come.

I'll ride the pine needles and raindrops to the ground, let it come.

Even now I hear the forest call, a whisper in thine ear.

Even now visions of greart limbs dance before me, let it be.

I can smell the dew and the earth, mist in thine vains.

 

  Swim in hotsprings and play among the trees, I feel the warmest breeze.

Listen to the crickets and hum to the bees, I feel the seas

Sing with the birds and sore with the dragonflys, I feel the trees.

Float effortlessly on the wind like butterflys on the breeze.

Plumit slack ozzie on spidersilk rope off the edge of what mother nature sees.

 

  Yet a day dream is all it is, a taste I've never had.

So let the rain ceese, the forest burn, let the oceans boil over.

The travisty is in the ignorance and the arrogance we display.

The horror is our headlong rush into that blinding void.

The consaquinces of our actins are our inevitable distruction and demise.

[Kenneth The Poet]

A nice piece about returning to our roots, literally. Nice work for sure.

I have done so and now I have the forest and can see it through the trees.

To find that place, take to the mountains, or to the seas, and find that place where your soul shall be.

My soul is at peace and I will die here, where I am, a happy man.
