Evolved Appreciation
Why do we appreciate the beauty of a flower?
Or the majesty of a rainbow
What advantage does it bring to us as a species?
Apart from awe, inspiration and humility
Do they inspire us to create?
Leading to better technology
Maybe
Does an eagle soaring high
Ever wonder how joyous it is to be alive on a fine summer’s day in the mountains?
It must
That is what it is born to do and live by
Lock it in a dank cage and it will know hell
Destroy nature
The source of so much wonder
And we will know it too
Left with the stars to gaze upon
Vast, cold and lifeless
No little fly or fish dallying about
Only here on this speck of a planet do they exist
No other life for millions of light years
We are alone
And we kill our home planet
Unceasingly
Let the weeds grow
Stop eating meat
Find joy in nature
That is where our home is
