I saw starving people in a forest green

where a raven ate a dead snake

there a vegan slaughtered a bean

soaring eagles into slaves he did make

justice blinded by human predation

exterminated wolves, saving sheep

temperance workers addicted to medication

dropped atom bombs so millions can sleep

Wow I love this. Exploring the striking dichotomy of the world's problems is so fascinating yet disheartening to me. You use such brilliant metaphors that speak to so much in so little words, amazing work :)

Humans are ruining our universe in many ways...they cull animals because too many of them; then they save some for reasons of survival which is mostly for food.... humans ( perhaps idealization) also exterminate other humans by dropping a bomb and killing millions. are they on drugs??? are they hallucinating ? do they hear voices? in their imagination do they need silence..or do they want to kill for silence? my thoughts on a
complex poem
