Message In Stanza

The day we sprawled out
Is the day that nature called out

We cover up the river bank with cement
And build a bank
I am consumed
By the fact that we are consumers

We are just heartbroken people
Who want to be hopin people

We overstimulate our foods
While we overstimulate our minds
I am burdened
By the idea that we overburden ourselves

We try to be an “all-in” world
But we are just a fallen world

Another sign in a plaza is going up
And we are still looking for signs
Reach deep down inside
Down in the valley we keep our sanity

I know it isn’t easy to escape in nature
In order to try to reshape in nature

Just try little acts of being kind
You know the kind I am talking about
Love and nature is in us
You’ll love the purpose that resides there
