selfish

the day began with my toes walking wet in the morning dew
the sun was rising and the green spread so far in the distance

how lucky am i
to see the sky and see the world underneath it

i’m watching an orangutan
struggle for his homeland
against man
his greatest enemy

we are selfish,
unaware
or sometimes we just ignore

horrid minds
horrid eyes
desire 
lust 
greed

we don’t suffer
we just enjoy
we walk around free

our homeland is safe,
and deep breaths we can take
relaxed and free
