9-5: A Sad Tale of Human Nature.
We repress nature through our man-made urbanite lifestyles. Yet we fucking sexualize its wild beauty by twisting it to be in sync with our own arrogant agendas. An example of how people twist nature; is that we go about our lives barely passing a thought about the concrete, steel, and glass life we choose to surround ourselves with. We are nothing but phantom shells wrapped up in our own minds and jobs. We fucking sit there in our self made cages, yearning for the freedom that nature offers. I don’t know if it’s our idiocy or audacity showing as we stare at these fake versions of beautiful and lush Paradise. We view nature as this “God/dess” that is unattainable.
We lust for it as we choose these beautiful and natural spaces to plaster our desktop backgrounds and calendars. As we sit at our desks, looking at these spaces whenever we take a moment from our endless tasks. We fantasize and yearn about those images throughout the day. And we continue to do nothing about it.
Since we are on the path anyways, let’s yearn so fucking hard that we decide we cannot be without nature. We use our sick obsession with shoving everything into our own tailored boxes to build fucking shrines too. We constructed perfect prisons for nature in which we molded it to be flawless to our eyes. People will go to and build these spaces to experience the beauty of nature instead of going out into the wilderness as it was naturally made. Where the beauty is manicured and edited to fit our possessive habits. Yet, that beauty is meant to be wild and dangerous. Full of light and dark. Allowed to grow.
Yet, we would rather have full control over what should be free. Just like society.
People and Nature need to be in tune. Our bodies flow with the moon, our spirits are begging to be freed. We are Nature. We are wild. We are powerful, We can be whatever we want to be, fully in our own power. We don’t need to stay in these cramped graves we built for ourselves. We can stand up for our True Selves. We are ready to fucking howl.
