We Do Not See

I see natural fountains of bubbling rivers,
Mysteriously vibrant forests calling,
Tidal waves gently falling
But I do not see
Withered, starving communities
of sacred swaying forest life
Helpless in strife
I do not see
Divine floral lives unfurling
Humankind cruelly hurling
Blind dirty ignorance
I do not see
Because I do not wish to
But because
They will me not to
I do not see action, or desperate advocacy,
I see lives lost in the hands of humanity.
