Looking Through my Window 
 
 

Why aren't I outside? 
The beauty of a thousand years 
Out there to coincide. 
But I am in this room 
Looking through the dirty glass, 
Closed in by man made walls, 
Letting nature pass 
Unnoticed and untouched! 
That's not how things should be. 
We were put here as part of nature 
To interact with it, 
But we hide inside our houses, 
We despise the dirt and grit. 
What are we all so scared of? 
Why are we all so different? 
Is this what civilization has to be? 
How did it get so twisted? 
Nature is not our enemy 
But now we are its. 
So I still look through my window, 
Civilization is the pits.
