And every time a crevice of the earth is revealed
A new place is created
spread by word of mouth like a dirty secret in middle school
and then just like the teacher reads the note to the class
that place is revealed
and for a while it rests, but after the swarms of people
like bees moving toward fresh spring flowers
the place is gone
the once clear waters are muddied
minds are obscured in tourist towns
problems are created for the natives
drugs are peddled and pollution is at an all time high
but why can’t we move around?
We were put on this earth to see it, right?
yes we were
to see the stretches of dessert and the cloudy moon on the horizon
like a milky spot in the middle of a latte
but soon it will be dirt
and compouds
and man made beaches will appear
as we try so hard to understand the place we’re in
man gets frustrated
and everything becomes an adaptation to our lives
we are turning the world into the mans ideal perfect world
we are messing with the natural order of things
we are pissing off mother nature
and we are dealing with the consequences
maybe it’s time to stop
take a breather
leave our expectations and our wallets at home
and let the world teach us a little something
because after all
as Alejandro Jodorowsky once said
"Birds born in a cage think flying is an illness"
hope it snows soon,
casey
