Controlled by ego, driven by want,
dogged by desire, blinded by guile,
fail to see most of life’s attractions,
Unseen natures, beauty, charm, style,
fluffy clouds, setting sun, moon, and stars.
Unfelt is mans inhumanity, or selfishness,
like cry of a hungry child, a troubled land.
Sightless from avarice, and self reward,
ignoring most of Natures vast appeal.
Have no time to gaze, no time to stare,
no time to feel, magic of a silent prayer.
Blind; not accepting nature’s caring way,

Very true the statements in this piece Bob - - if we never have time to 'stand and stare' and see all the bounty of nature we are not really living as your verse brings to our attention..... thank you a 10 from Fay....
true words honestly spoken out...the world in general fails to see the beauty and feel the comfort and peace that the nature offers...great work well composed...10
I am reminded of Wordsworth's lament: Getting and spending we lay wasre our powers, Little we see in Nature that is ours, We have given our heart away a sordid boon. CP
yes our life has become so artificial, we have forgot to take pleasure in natural things.......Good Write........

u are a fountain of emotion and thought..amazing! ! brilliant work sir
eyes but no vision, heart that cannot feel, greed that has no end. lovely message. Nature is so eloquent in its silenceand sounds, but we have no time to stand and hear its messages or enjoy the beauty.10+ Mamta
