Now We Think We Are Not

To live
We need to take
A different look at life
To see things
In a far more natural light
We live expecting
That which we will see
Even
We expect to happen
What we want to be
Just as pride
That comes before a fall
It seems we think that we control
And know it all
And so it is
We cannot understand
Why nature carries on
Intent on it’s own plan
Oblivious
And so indifferent to puny man
That we in desperation
Then look round
To find a place
A face
To point a finger at
Where blame
May be attached
A culprit found
There is no blame
For this is life we live
For here
We walk with beasts on dangerous ground
Where natures forces are at work
With ice and rock
A test
For places next
Perhaps
Where we are bound
The trouble is
It seems we have so long forgot
This world
Of which we are a part
That now
We think we are not
