Resuscitation Needed

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

John Vucetich, a population biologist and professor in Michigan Technological University's School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science, takes on a philosophical question with far-reaching implications for humanity and the natural world around us: Are humans and nature fundamentally one and the same?
Writing on the Center for Humans & Nature website, Vucetch proposes that ecosystems—of which humans are a part—are organisms. "In that sense," he says, "we are one and the same. In fact, humans and nature are so intimately connected that acting as if we are separate and abusing nature is tantamount to abusing ourselves. (Image by pinterest)

Resuscitation Needed

 

Oxygen struggles

Water dwindles

Voices choke

Fragrance wanes

Taste sickens

As Man continues to embrace

Unconsciousness

 

When might…

Oxygen become non-toxic

Water unpolluted

Voices listenable

Fragrance returned

Taste sweetened

 

Perhaps…

 

Only in a mythical world

Where reality

Will be resuscitated

Through actions made poetic

And voices overcoming gasps once of the past

Re-discovering human honesty

With nature’s

Truth

 

Organisms

May very well be

One and the same

With ecosystem-truth

But

Just as all forms of storm

Can erode all aspects of Nature

So too can man’s behavior

Destroy his right to claim symmetry

A fascinating topic that you are explored here that people really do need to consider. The importance of nature and how interconnected we are with nature. It is not just that we appreciate the beauty of a sunset, our worlds are intimately connected. This excellent poem highlights that fact.
