Socialized at birth,
We are taught to have it all,
That humans are king, as powerful as God,
But with this state of mind,
We are surely to fall,
It's only when you open your eyes,
You see we are everything, and nothing at all.
A leaf on a tree is just the same,
We all come from dust,
Stop living in vain.
We have to realize as humans, that we have no more importance than any other creature or living thing on this planet. I used a leaf as an example to really emphasize the importance of this idea. We all live on this planet together, we all depend on the health of this planet in the same way. As humans, however, We have a self proclaimed sense importance that leads us to negatively affect everything around us; This can be seen clearly through the unhealthy human behavior of pollution, deforestation, etc. I can say with confidence, however, that everyday people are not entirely responsible for these acts. The wood that fuels the fire, is money and greed, not at all hidden by large corporations that disregard anything and everything to obtain power. Now the sad realization is that these very corporations control our lives by only handing out enough money to live within their grasp and without power. It's with this lack of power in which we believe that we can do nothing at all, except live how we are told, but together we can make a difference.... Together we can change it all.
