We all categorize, synthesize,
adapt, organize, one above,
one below, one better,
one worse. Aren't we
better than that?
Tall, thin,
Short, fat,
Small, large,
black, white.
We strive for equality,
but we still file,
categorize.
How are we better?
How are we worse?
Tall, thin,
Short, fat,
Small, large,
black, white.
We draw borders,
invisible lines,
We separate,
we synthesize.
Tall, thin,
Short, fat,
Small, large,

Are we all just that?
We draw the world in black,

PROMPT: Names for Nature
Teeming with life,
teeming with strife,
struggle, issues, hunger,
yet life.
The strong eat the weak,
The weak try hide,
they do things to fill their days,
But something is looming,
Something new.
New is dangerous.
New is strange,
new destroys their home.
That unnatural thing takes, and takes,
Takes their homes and takes their city.
There is no giving back,
there is only taking,
Life leaves after years and years,
the city turns gray.
Their home is leaving, fading...

Great forest, set away,
growing and thriving,
striving to spread,
time passed as all things do
the forest grew and grew
A circle was broken,
the forest shrank,
something kept taking,
taking away,
there was no mercy,
there was no kindness
just violence.
Swinging, chopping,
stripping breaking,
fire burning, taking,
a forest on trial,
with no lawyer.
More destruction,
burning rage,
the trial was almost closed.
Could life leave?
Could man do it?
That one fell swing,
after years upon...

The sun is shining, its a beautiful day
Somehow the clouds have been chased away
But then the storm comes back
and covers our minds
We sit in homes hoping it will pass
We sit and we wait
for the storm to pass
but our leaders refuse to concentrate
To do their jobs, to break the storm
as we sit in our homes...
To break the storm we must adapt
we must change our ways
we must stay together
