Elucidating Questions

Isn’t it strange?

Isn’t it peculiar?

The world outside is considered harsher

But she can keep the plants alive

All these humans with their dead and dying plants

Mother Earth keeps them alive outside

And they consider the brutality of the wild to be worse

But when the wolf kills the bunny the wolf was hungry

And when your dog kills your bunny the dog just wanted to tear it to shreds and destroy it like a toy

So which is more brutal?

Do you think they wilt inside because the air is not fresh?

The water not rain?

Is the dog more violent than the wolf because of his closeness to humans?

His proximity to our violence?

Is outside truly more brutal than working

Slaving

Every day of your life just to die with 50¢ in the bank you leave to your little brother?

I mean I suppose you can’t just…go… And live… Outside you’d need furs, which is why they wore them probably

But I wonder how much harder it is

To be wild

I’m so domesticated I can hardly imagine, but the plants seem to get it

Always listen to plants they’re older than us and far better at being at harmony with the Earth

Or maybe something inbetween

You get a house but you get your own food

I wonder if the wilds are truly wild

To someone born within them
