Nourished by sun and rain in a wild domain
Living off stones and sand, fed by nature's rocky hand
no ears this terrain has to hear you complain
survival's demand, a life living off the land
A person coerced by their wild hunger and thirst
Cuts the grass hair nature owns, build their house of her bones
They drink from her veins, make omelets of her brains dispersed
Breaking their mother's skin so thin, then steal all that she owns

This beautifully illustrates the struggle between nature's purity & human intrusion, with striking imagery & emotion.Very well written!!!
Thank you Salvia. I appreciate your review of this piece and your continued encouragement and support.
Nature provides plenty, but man always wants more than plenty.
Natures garden it seems is an acre of land, but even that will get taken.
Thank you Paul for your read and interpretation. We tend to think the earth is ours and like all else today disposable. It is not.
Soren lovely written out🥂💯
You’ve written as is “ A person coerced by their wild hunger and thirst
Cuts the grass hair nature owns, build their house of her bones
They drink from her veins, make omelets of her brains dispersed
Breaking their mother's skin so thin, then steal all that she owns”
Spectacular 👏🏻👌🏻 what I do get from this is the horrific or maybe so vampire type of vibe, whether you were going for such, that which I don’t know your preference.
Overall 🥂🥂🥂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you Keyara for your read and interpretation. Yes indeed people as they are today are parasites and vampires that feel they can do as they wish with no consequences. We think that our technology will answer all but with pesticides that kill not only bugs, and interrupt a food chain we don't understand, but also people, genetic alterations that have their outcome as well, we will be left with a bleak world.

Thank you Andy I appreciate your review and comment my friend. Yes if only people would show her respect
A bit morbid, would you say they drank from her veins, made omelets from her brains? The poem serves to provoke thought about the impact of human actions on the environment and to raise awareness of the delicate balance between survival and sustainability. It critiques the exploitative tendencies of humanity while also acknowledging the primal instincts that drive survival.
Death is Morbid's brother and so it wouldn't be right not to invite him. Thanks Friendship for the review and kind words of support they are most appreciated and yes you are most right humans are exploitive.
