NATURE Poem: WHAT WE ALL FAILED TO LEARN, by Myles Farley

The Earth is at the head of the class
Her words are lost among the students
dull roar drowning out
lessons lost on generations of unintentional apathy

Frolicking on a playground unaware how deep
their steps drive into the dirt
Dehumanizing nature to its face
Forceful upon its will

Concepts unheard and forgotten
That we are smaller than our egos
Merely a part of the world
almost unknowingly in a symbiotic relationship

Insane is what we have proved to be
Reputation of failure to learn
that we cannot escape
what is to come
