technology and nature:
are they really all that different
or can the latter be inclusive of the first?
what heresy! some shout, to think
that atom bombs and cell phones are part
of what we would deem good, let's reverse
but once again, aren't weapons used
(like everything) based on intentions?
it's not the chunk of metal's fault per se
maybe just the bomber who was not cherished
or grew up in a generation filled with hate
take this example, say we take the culprit
and place him in a setting more remote
some preach the tribe converts his fear to wisdom
but he must first allow it consciously, or stay a villain
one day, a tribesman's trapped in a cave collapsed
a dynamite blast could free him
but weapons they are pure evil!
too bad the helpless man is left to die
while tribesmen celebrate the choice
to ban the techy scapegoat in place of something 'right'
the aboriginals no doubt lived much in tune
(but that's not the only way!
how uncreative would nature be!?)
and as our world descends to gloom
technology accelerates
but what if we surpassed another separation?
here's an idea:
what if technology were created
with good vibrations?
if cells were not to use
external compounds for manufacture
there'd never be an animal, a human, or a culture
a mind must leap to comprehend this view
but this ain't nothing new
instead of taking passionate sides for good and bad
might i suggest a radical idea
that both are parts of a larger system
or a plan?
it's mother nature evolving
using anything she can
from carbon to aluminum
and we can aid her
but not through opinionated labels
nor one-sided equations
but only with the final answer
to all such questions
hidden deep inside the peaceful self
