another long poem...but it explains my veiws
Eyes, once wide and warm
blue and beautiful...swirling with a...
lively innocence...
so fleeting....
2 say the least.

Now, thro cold eyes...
ice....numb....2 everything that goes on
around them....
or, at least.....
that's all that dares sho...
in these eyes.
No emotion shines
no innocent glo
nothing left.
Y?
because, in this world...
crying....is weakness...
caring 4 1 another is....
trivial...& useless now.
4 ♥s and feelings r played everyday....
as if they're nothing more then a game...
trivial....all emotion....
2 say the least...

Eyes...cold, narrow, slanted....
watching this world,
alien...
not belonging...
but not able 2 leave.
Hurt...but not showing
pain...from these creatures called
humans...rlly?
I question what they think and I am slandered
4 it...y? Supposedly...
freedom of speech is God...given....
rite? so...what's rong...?
God given...or...man controlled...
man controlled....2 say the least...

Lucky 2 c a flicker of...
light pass in these alien eyes.
Not those of humans...because I c things....
clearly humans miss or
perhaps....ignore...
no twinkle in these eyes
which have yet 2 b blinded by human
thoughts & intentions...
no light....
perhaps because Darkness...swallows me...
or maybe...perhaps holds...me?
Maybe...4 when I call
4 a friend...some1 who cares 2 hear...
Darkness...only comes
and holds me close....
Light...is fleeting...scared
2 say the least.

Glass eyes...no...Crystal...
cold...blue...sharp shards
Inhuman...?
u say they're inhuman...? perhaps....
What once were warm...r now ice &
what were wide and innocent...
r now narrow and serpentine....
& this makes me inhuman?
As if I...myself....
didn't already kno....
I.....am a tree....
2 say the least.

A tree? Yes...
yes, a tree...
Soli-Tree
alone....just watching
as this world keeps turning
and nothing changes...
but the seasons...
& the dusks become the dawns
time passes on..
and I will watch...
4 all time.
& occasionally rite what I c...
in hopes maybe 2 make u c...
eventually...
@ least, that is my goal...
2 say the least.

Inhuman...?
but what is human?
Greed...lies?
Pain...war?
Hate...demise...despise?
Killing...murder?
Torture?
Just because u didn't get what u wanted...?
Human life, clearly...
2 other humans...
is disposable...
but being inhuman...
is supposedly bad...?
What does being human mean...
2 other humans?
They still live off primal instinct...
a reptilian brain
hidden in a mammalian brain
shrouded again in a primate brain.
Civilized...?
Murder is civilized?
Tell me...try 2 convince me, cos I
just don't understand this @..all...
Civilized, I ask u...?
Tell me u'r civilized...
tell me after u look...
closely...
c what u've done 2 this
only planet we have &
2 others of ur kind...
2 say the least.

Look at the lives u've
ended...no remorse.
No sorrow 4 the 1s...
who fight & who...die...
4 rites we don't have...
C what pain u humans have caused
2 each other...
pain, hate, lies, greed, torment, theft...
DAILY
& u try 2 tell me u...
of all the other animals here....
r civilized?
Dogs....r more civil.
Dogs don't kill
they protect.
They only kill
when greedy, stupid humans make them
or when they have no other choice.
Do u dare...call urself...
civil?
Dogs r more loyal
then any human.
Animals...
those things u humans think urself
superior 2...
they care more about each other
and some, more about u....
then any human
ever will about another
each other
1 another.
Sad 2 say....
but humans hurt them 2...
how does that...
being more loyal
more caring
more loving
less hating
make them less then cold
heartless
humans?
Semi-civilized...maybe...
lower ranked then animals...
well, that's saying the least.

Have u truly evolved...?
Rlly? U say u have...
how...and y?
Cos u can paint?
Write stories and poems...?
Do calculus?
Hunt? Make music?
Create computers? Go 2 outer space?
Leave this place...but it stays the same....
Probe Mars? Say u'r gonna live there?
Think it'll b different...?
Listen 2 stars...
but not each other?
I can't blame them, tho
I don't like listening 2 vain...
ignorant...greedy creatures either...
What they don't seem 2 know yet....
but the few trees like me do....
the so-called evolution
they have attained & flaunt so....
will cause their end...
mark my words....
the evolution...
every technological step up
is an evolutionary step down
thro my eyes, at least.

The future is narrowing
and humans r 2 blame.
Technology advances
brain function leaves them
we loose another piece of our future...
just another days work 2 them...
at least...thro my eyes...

If war starts 2morro
humans r 2 blame...
greedy 4 more
they what they can attain.
Never happy
with what they have...
THAT is human kind...
such an oxymoron...
human kind...rlly?
Human cruel would b better.
More realistic...anyways...
2 say the least.

The world would end...
the day after it went 2 war...
at least, 4 humans it would.
Animals and plants...
those things they think they r better than...
they will live on...
better, without the humans
in constant interference.
Humans....they're just a...
sporadic mutation.
& a failed 1, @ that.
But maybe that's...
just what I c...
& my opinion...
means the least.

Inhuman...yes.
4 I...am just...a tree.
Watching the storm and
barely wavering in it.
Embracing the sun when it comes...
rather then smothering it...
Human, 2 me...
is an insult...
2 say the least.
