My brothers,
the eagle and
the buffalo,
are surprised you humans
still don’t know:
How ---
to Share ---
our Home.

How to live in harmony
with each other,
as do we.
Appre-ciat-ing
what!
the other is.

Eagle flies
so high above,
a symbol of
Creator’s love,
lending the wide vision
of his eyes.

Buffalo living
in his herd
never speaking
with human word;
but sacrificing All!
so you may thrive.

The earth, herself,
is your mother too
providing food
for me and you
and oxygen -
we all need -
to breathe.

Dear blind humanity,
what is it
that you truly
Think you need?



Whoever initially posted the above picture to pixdaus.com, I so very much thank you.

animals are the same as us.. Not so much noble but animal as we are ..an eagle is one hell of a killer.. Majestic yes peaceful no.. The killing and dying is the balance ..people want to believe natures balance is peace but its not survival of the fittest is war on the weak sick and the children .. This is the nature of all things including us...

:heart: The beauty in a deer, in the early morning mist,,as it pants out clouds of dew, from its nose and mouth, a still look in them giant eyes,,,,and one see's life, and another their chance to drop it for their extra meals.
That old lady pushing her shopping cart, filled with bags, dolls and bottles,rushing to make the street light to cross,,jeans and a dress over it for style, stopping in front of a elegant car.
Making them wait as she flips her skirt high,to fasten her fly,wink.
THEY act SHOCKED, and call her bad names, I just laugh and toot my horn and give her a thumbs-up high.
Humanity is LEAVING,,,,,and WE CAN'T MAKE HER STAY.
Life has changed so,,,in my few years past my way.


THIS opens the mind and made me feel yours, thank you,,and I hope SOME,,look at life just a small,,,little-bit,,,of a difference, now.

I appreciate your perspective, but I feel the need to point out, animals accept death - we don't. How many eagles have you seen wearing an oxygen mask on their faces and the tanks strapped to their backs? When animals overpopulate their species, what happens? Man's natural predator has turned out to be disease, natural disasters, and oh yeah, himself - he's trying to overrule - animals don't.

It was a nice poem and i do wish we could live in better harmony with our planet..I beleive in the ideal you shared just not sure whether animals do.. i know theyre seen that way i just dont see it ..

i still beleive they are no different they as we do do everything in their power to survive whether its better for the whole or not and show a very real fear in their eyes and actions when their eaten alive by their natural neighbors that keep them in "harmony" by controlling their population..a lack of ability to prolong yourself well beyond usefulness and throwing off population balance, doesnt mean lack of desire to do so..

it occurs to me that i should probably not have spoken up ..i apologise this probably isnt the place to debate this.I too write poetry and you have a VERY nice poem there i did not mean to pick it apart or disrespect you..

Okay OutkastBoss, let me agree it isn't necessary to debate this here and trust me, I seriously don't want to experience a living version of Animal Farm, just so I can do a "yuh-huh look at 'em go!" told ya so dance. It just boggles my mind how VASTly different now versus then really is - compared to earth formation guestamations - that's a very short flippin time - feels like a humongous catch 22, ya know?

Feel free to tear into anything I write. It'll make me think and dig around in my reactions to it - Egad, I could even expand my mind more and learn a thing or two. Along with finding definitions to previously unknown words, understanding different points of view is a thing I find a blessing and a curse, but well worth finding out which is which and then hunting for that elusive ---- happy medium.


I wanna be symbiotic, blast it all!
