This was revised. It is not aimed to be too rough or grim, despite the reference to birds of prey. 🦅. It is also about just using words with impact for visualisation.….

I am working on it. ☮️

A Foregone Conclusion

Assumption
Illusion
A foregone conclusion
Ripping through the day
*
Welcome programmed living
It is usually pay to play
Our diet of
new media and life
sometimes seems okay
But it does have a price
*
Learning better choices
Is learning to be wise
Finding our own voices
we need them to survive
Our awareness has to stay
*
Memories come from before
Understanding grows with praise
In current times we want more
There is always a way
*
Savour the taste of the moment
Take a fresh breath with the wind
Intricate visions of the future
Cool sounds for all of time
*
We need to feel much more
And know more in our mind
Make our choice to be
In front of a screen
Or on the scene
Like walking down a path in time
*
Bright green ferns
and fields of thick moss
Cover the living, outdoor floor
Fingers of branches
arms criss-cross
Life stretches out far
from our core
*
Trunks of trees rise so high
Branches reach out to hold the sky
Evergreens, cedar, spruce and pine
Like a dream
Patterns sway and wind
*
Bright leaves twist in the season’s breeze
There is life within the forest
We can hear a chorus
Musical keys to melodies
*
Birds make music
As do artists
We have
Videos and speakers pounding
Cameos of creatures counting
*
Climbing higher or digging down deeper
We are inspired and soaring regal
Heart beat steady of a
A flying eagle
A battle cry
And we reach out

Diving down with pinpoint accuracy
Then from ground to sky
We have no doubt
not much as we hold on tight to our life
*
We watch our days unfold
We let them take firm hold
Or change the channel
Or app or site
All depending on our appetite
And things that we are sold
*
We must be bold
*
We must have
Improvement
A foregone conclusion
Gripping us today
