Escape

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I ponder
the Human Species'
Move
from Farm
to City.
It seems to me
that Migration
has been
a full fledged run
from Nature,
from
the Honoring
of the Real
to the Elevation
of the Human Constructed.
It seems to me
that Shift
has been an attempt
to escape
the Glare of
Birth, Life, and Death
in the Natural World.
It seems to me
that Shift has been
motivated by Humans
who do not
want to witness
the reality
of the Damage
they have created.
Now our
Trail of Damage
Weaves
a Tight Web
around and in
the Fortresses
we have created.
Where
shall we
escape
to now?
