ONE FOOT IN THE FOREST PRIMEVAL
.
.
Survival is a strategy devised by the individual
Supported by the herd, performed in a special environment
We don't want to find ourselves in the wrong place
Or be in the right place at the wrong time
Each living being has an instinct to survive
It warns us of danger, to stay alert
Ready to spring into action should a threat appear
Humans can get lulled into a false sense of security
Surrounded by the gaudy trappings of civilization
But behind the indoor plumbing and antibiotics
We can get caught up in a trap, make unhealthy decisions
Often through no fault of our own
Yet many dangers can be foreseen
Humans are the best foreseers, predictors, planners
First we prioritize survival just as a deer in the woods
Avoiding predators, staying quick and strong
Ready to bolt, fight, hide, run for our lives
We are part of nature
Nature's Number One imperative is survival
To live and love another day under the sun and stars
