Now We Think We Are Not Poem by Egal Bohen

To live we need to take a different look at life
To see things in a far more natural light
We live expecting that which we will see
Even, we expect to happen what we want to be
Just as pride that comes before a fall
It seems we think that we control and know it all
And so it is we cannot understand
When nature carries on, intent on it’s own plan
Oblivious, and so indifferent of puny man
That we in desperation then look round
To find a place, a face, to point a finger at
Where blame may be attached, a culprit found
There is no blame, for this is life we live
For here, we walk with beasts on dangerous ground
Where natures forces are at work with ice and rock
A test, for places next perhaps where we are bound
The trouble is, it seems we have so long forgot
This world of which we are a part
That now we think we are not
