Today's prompt was for Earth Day, so in the 'Two fer Tuesday' tradition, the challenge was to write a poem about either nature or industrial. I think I combined both...
Civilized?
The weight of the pack on my back
The smell of pine on the air
This is where I belong
Climbing these mountains
No cell phone
No computer
No television
This is how God meant man to be
But there's a call I'm expecting
I haven't checked my email in a while
I miss my favorite show
So I descend back to civilization
Back to pollution and decay
I am still a man of this earth
this century
Civilization blinds me
Until I just can't see any other way
-Justin M. Howe
