Immortals

Create the controlled,

That’s the real goal.

Greens and greed,

Neon gods from screens.

Icy fire,

Drugs get higher.

Dancing trees

Cut down to make more copies

Of the perfect pristine pictures

Hung above addictive liquor

But don’t worry, nature won’t fail

The real mother we forget to hail.

One day all of us will see

What being human really means.

Immortals by Mara Rusu is a rhymed poem that explores Mother Nature vs Humanity, human hubris, and the environment. This poem explores the depths of the inquiry question: How does our environment or where we come from define us? It also incorporates the powerful video “I am Nature.” Together, they demonstrate the idea that nature is something so much more powerful than human’s think it is. Coming from an enviorment and society of greed, and hubris affects humanity and mother nature greatly.
