Distantly arriving at nonsense now 
with the old book that wants to read itself, 
I ask nobody why we are alive, 
then drink apple juice on the broken rock, 
so I can take stock of the world today, 
Nature serene while humans fight for power. 

They seem to stand so still in peaceful calm, 
huge trees that gaze up at the empty sky 
where no giant man watches all I do, 
but their roots are tangled in hostile wars 
over who sucks atoms of material 
from corpses of organic animals. 

Their soft leaves of tender fragility, 
that flutter delicately in cool breeze, 
are engaged in struggle for dominance 
over who soaks in more bright rays of light 
that flush their hardened trunks with energy 
to scatter more seeds far across the land. 

They chirp so cheerfully in gentle trees, 
the birds that flutter wings of urgent hope 
where no guardian angels protect my soul, 
but their sweet songs express romantic hope 
to attract the most ardent monitors 
attentive to needs of their frantic faith. 

Their fragile wings of tranquil honesty, 
that swirl in controlled flights of fantasy, 
hurl their obsessive hearts in frenzied flight 
with agitated passion to proclaim 
voice-enforced shield of territorial bounds 
in struggles to control space of their dreams. 

When I walk out on porch of my quaint home 
at peaceful gleam of dawn that paints all rosy, 
I hear birds chirping in gently swayed trees, 
and feel strange calm of timeless innocence 
that soothes tense agitation of my heart 
from berserk fight for power humans play. 

Yet like humans they fight for dominance, 
contesting over who has right to live 
safe in fertile space of heavenly calm 
to generate and train children with love 
who produce food so everyone can eat 
then craft machines and tools with rich insight. 

To seek unperturbed respite of firm faith 
from overwrought obsession for control 
that drives humans to dominate our globe, 
I fight to defeat tyrants blind with greed, 
then shroud my heart in tranquil fantasy 
our state provides opportunities for all.
