Moth on bark or parakeet on bough,
Seeming other than they are,
Teach us that nature loves deceit;
Yet priggish man exalts the truth,
Being then most seeming in his
Moral camouflage.
Great comparison of man and nature and how deceit is innocently portrayed - 'moth on bark or parakeet on bough' and with man his moral deceit is a more blatant lie in and of itself. Great message within your poem, thank you for sharing. RoseAnn
Deceit in nature (camouflage) is a prerequiste for survival. The ability to camouflage in nature has evolved. In man it is a lifestyle choice. A lovely little poem with a big message. Well done.
A very deep introspection into life and surroundings! ! There is camouflaging everywhere! !
