Who’s In Charge?

Through it all the animals roam freely
while humans withdraw in their dread and fear
not venturing out // where birds sing sweetly

Our furry and feathered friends worry not
going about their gatherings with cheer;
living lives daily with nary a thought.

Resigned to their fate, they’ve no ears to hear.
While superior beings listen in fear…
Newscasts shout, “Cornovirus is near!”

What makes us believe we should rule the world?
We read it on pages // good books are clear
we’re invincible // destined // brash and bold…

Perhaps, it’s now time to accept our state;
realizing we are not superior here;
and, like the animals accept our fate.

Live life with purpose making each day count.
Knowing in God we trust through every tear…
we face each tomorrow as tensions mount.

 

I see people racing to the store to buy up toilet paper, I notice all around me in nature is still the same. The birds sing the squirrels raid my feeder without a thought. We have a lot to learn about our place in this world and nature has many ways to help keep us in perspective.
