The Eco System

Posted on by Harlon

In this, the land of the living,

everything is inevitably dying.

I was lead to believe

that part of the reason for our being

is to leave a legacy of a better quality of life

for the next generation.

Renewal rather than extinction.

We’re at odds with ourselves

about the concept of self-preservation,

and so it seems human nature cannot sustain

the act of conservation

and so we stay in the familiar course of endangerment

and bypass altruism.

I am uncertain if  Mother nature will continue to be so forgiving.

  2. There is an owl outside my window, it has been a few months since I last heard him. He sounds as though he is weeping for mother nature as the rain starts to fall like tears.

  4. This is one of the most important challenges of our time, of our species, maybe even the most important. I don’t know what will happen. But you have stirred my heart and mind with this uncertainty, and my response is turning into a blog post. Thank your for bringing this challenge to us, Harlon.
