A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words

The picture is generated by @wakeupkitty


Describe what you see

I see a picture of Hawks and a warrior dressed with a sword




Describe what you feel

I feel the land is in chaos causing everyone to strive for survival.


A poem about what you think




Life is a struggle of survival,
Every day, we hustle and bustle for many reasons, Hawks seek their prey to survive, and we pursue hawks as prey. Since everything has a prey, should life be about the survival of the fittest?

Being alive is a never-ending battle, should survival be a term of uncertainty?
We flee from our comfort zone out of fear for our safety.

While some places beg for human contact, all they get is desertion. Where can one find contentment?
We all yearn for a happy life, but it's hard to come by.
Every species has a tale of survival and uncertainty to share.
We are scared of one another's motives.

The land itself is dangerous to live on, the ground is hard, harsh and unbothered, we want for contentment!!! Humans cry, only to get deprived,
Aggression for satisfaction prevails,
And the end result is desolation and destruction.

Your poem @maryann reminds me of poverty, war, and destruction in a desolate land where humans fight for survival. When you say that "being alive is a never-ending battle." I wholeheartedly agree with that statement. No matter what part of the Earth one inhabits, the economic or health status, the fight to survive in this current times is prevalent. Although the fight may be different, the uncertainty of a distinct group of people sometimes depends on survival of the fittest. Is the way society was meant to live?

I wonder many times as the aggression becomes more deadly. What will our end times show? That humans was capable of the ultimate destruction?

Your poem is deep in its subject matter. A thoughtful piece of prose. Thanks for sharing.

Take care and have a good rest of your week.
