RECLUSE

 

Far off civilization in the lap of nature,

Ancient human colony life of the tribe,

Jet age, space-age, high-tech is hype,

Abominable age of human recluse type,

Impregnable dense forest nature strikes,

The simple life of humans naturally thrives,

Fierce tiger elephant predator prowl,

Snakes, insects, dangerous trap soul,

Wise forest life tribal fight hard secure,

Recluse from urban life protects nature,

Their clothes, ornaments, and food,

Hunting animals, cultivating rice, wood,

Honey forest food water plenty,

Mosquitoes breed fast tribal kids,

Far from education nourished food,

Good clothes hygiene, health,

The conscience of human outlook,

Highways, megapolis, education,

Constitution fails from recluse decades,

Development halts at the barricade,

Happiest are tribal in dance night long,

Fever, death, birth, and marriage, song,

Unique Marvel life is far from complex,

Far from urban life and serenity,

Hospital, school, college, road, clinic,

Absent service to people, access,

Society ever mind utter neglect or be kind,

Confined life, fearful mind, trust recluse arm,

Nature questions the conscience of humans

Recluse from truth detachment rewind,

The objective of the spirit, not an animal,

Food, drink, sleep, unite in shelter primeval,

Emancipation recalls the soul to seek the goal,

A recluse in solitude in nature, inner spirit calls,

The mind is silent in thought, and ears close,

Fragile is a frame, sit still, awareness arose,

Recluse lifelong in the quest, sojourn objective,

Realization unfolds; the recluse is subjective.
