Humans are Meant to be Wild

by Mishka   Sep 13, 2008


Staring quietly
At the stars in the sky
Why do they shine so bright
While the people lie

Simple little people
Once born, so free
Ate, slept, made babies
But now they run--escaping

This world has become
Something I do not wish to say
It's vicious, mad, hungry
For more than just bread and play

It's angry, it's unfair
It's hurting, it's despair
It's hard and lonley, too
It's strangly like a closed up zoo

These animals that I speak of
Are humans, they are wild
But taming us is dangerous
We're changing and restyled

It's wrong to see us be
The way that us you see
This Earth is dying slowly
But time is running free

We'll lose our minds
To books and facts
To information
That largely distracts
Us from the real
Importance in life
Love, Happiness, and Peace
The only true things
We really, Ever, Need.

    I loved the meaning behind your words here. When man is free without matieral problems theyre truly happy. I had to write an essay on that so I know where you're coming from. Well done...it was flawless.

    Perhaps we need another "bohemian philosophy" to our minds and hearts to improve the world. Live or not to live? that's the question ;)

    "(...) Love, Happiness, and Peace
    The only true things
    We really, Ever, Need."

    I'm with you in that. In fact, the world needs something more than a simple charity: action for the welfare, big changes to make a better reality. It is not easy live on reality, but we must live in a better way with our fantasies (the men are wrong when they say that fantasy it's just for children and fools). Is maybe the fantasy out of their? That's my wonder. I hope so not (I got big hopes yet, after all).

    Good writing!

    Greetings.

    Wow Val, a very emotional poem. It's very true, how we are wild and untamed. And if we do, er it's not the same. But we have been distracted by everything in our lives, that we dont notice all the changes we've made, and the bad ones. We are so blind to the obvious. But this poem, was very good, it just said it all. And I'm sure if others read it, they'd say the same, Val.

    Well great job on the poem, it was excellent. ^.^

    5/5
