people look around

words travel by
numerous discussions cascade around
people too busy to see
or even attempt to pay attention
to what's happening around
rather they choose to ignore
busy themselves with work
a boring 40 hour a week job
then come home to sleep
or drink their lives away
they merely sit there existing
not having a life
parade their accomplishments
of having more material
but do not despair
their time is almost up
soon the tides of change will come
swallow what they thought was true
replace all that we know
with the beauty of nature to see
become closer to the world
and all its creative glory
the hawks crying out
rabbits bouncing about
the proud roar of a lion
gazelles pracing around
illuminating humanity
sharing the real purpose
life is meant to be lived
in the greatness of the outdoors
not in some office
or classrooms we have made
built them to divide
and separate us from the truth
we can all strive for this
just be willing to accept
that we will not know
all of what we see
we will not understand
all of which we learn
