Hello, Soren,
Buttons, switches, levers even one\'s face can open doors and phones. God help us all when the lights go out, maybe we\'ll be rescued by the Boy Scouts and the Girl Guides. I get this poem, I surely do. Excellence with grit and grind.
Fond regards, my friend,
Tony.

Modern life and what we take for granted.
When we have a Headache we take a couple of Tablets. Centuries ago What ? Just put up with it or have a Headful of Leeches applied?
Good Write.

I see fire as either creativity, youth or purpose or all three or combinations. Splendid poem.

like leeches, humans also tend to exploit those who help them - beautiful way of expressing this thought

Wow such a thought-provoking piece, if I couldn\'t light the fire I\'d find another way to keep warm like movement, I love the reflection here, it\'s a world in which everything is at the touch of a button even turning on the fire, I am more of an old fashioned gal, I\'d find a way to keep warm and I\'d also be grateful that there wasn\'t a hole in the roof because it could always be worse. 🌹

I reckon modern man would die in the forest if he had to rub wood or strike stones.
Let\'s face it, if the convenience store shuts early it\'s a catastrophe.
In saying that, If I lose the telly remote I\'m phoning the police.

Soren, apparently everyone was so busy hunting dinner that nobody checked who was behind them. 😂 The vulture definitely wins this round. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Yes, we have nature\'s \'food chains\', but man comes along and messes it up. Typical, we say! There\'s many doing conservation, animal rescue, etc, as well though.

The Vulture seems to be above all what is going on. Literally as well as Safe from harm.
It can only Smile at the death on the ground.
But he\'ll get his as well.
Enjoyed.

Hello, Soren,
The fittest, the quietest, the cunningest and the stupidity of man forgetting to look over his shoulder - the leftovers for the vultures to clean up the mess, as if nothing ever happened. The nature of things in another great poem of yours. Bravo!
Fond regards,
Tony.

It\'s a jungle out there you better be aware or you\'ll end up a dead bear.
Mind you, the jungles probably safer than going into the supermarket now.
Definitely a killing zone.

Brings me back to those cartoons and videos of the ever enlarging size of predators in the predation ladder. And of course the old woman who swallowed a fly.

The variety of Strangler Fig (of which there are many) I’m most acquainted with is the Moreton Bay Fig (mentioned by arqios above). It is very large, magnificent in its untidiness. They line parks everywhere in Sydney, and along theEastern seaboard, although If I were wealthy enough here to own a house, I would keep any or all well away from my expensive property. I just enjoy them where they are and feel that your admirable poem, rich in detail is nevertheless a little harsh in its judgement, Soren. All life feeds off other life, humans are the most…and so on…

Soren, there’s something damn unsettling about nature building the prison and serving the sentence at the same time. Great piece, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Good write SB. Ohh, I can\'t have figs though - not figgy biscuits nor figgy pudding. It\'s TMI (too Much Info) to say why, but you can guess! lol.

Hello, Soren,
...and the fig thrives I love poems about nature as it really is, no romancing the truth or colouring in the numbers. This is an excellent poem, claustrophobic, merciless and creepy, as it should be. Accolades galore for this one, my friend.
Wishing you all the best,
Tony.
