cynicism offers no relief. and yet....

With little thought, 
and even less care,
civilization spreads his roots.

Setting his heart on bits of earth
so obviously claimed by mother nature
with towering oaks and seas of underbrush.

Rolling in with calculated plans
he decimates the homes of thousands-
the product of years of artful existence.

Pleading no innocence,
he is perfectly aware of his offense,
he is perfectly apathetic.

He shrugs off the devastation
 and erects his concrete idols.

Step back and admire the opulence of mankind.
