Man’s prejudice: A poem 

You can’t catch butterflies in a storm 

They die, wings broken, antenna torn 

Birds don’t dare strong winds, flowers shed 

Animals hide from blizzards in panic’s bed  

Famine scourges the wild, even bees lose bite 

When a season fails to flourish, nothing seems right 

A drought kills lush pastures, fruit don’t sprout 

How everything is humbled by nature’s turnabout! 

For us, who survive with steel in our wheels 

the impetuous push of ambition fires our heels 

The moon long been reached, and sound breached 

Science above nature and creation is being preached 

Animals do live in hierarchies but live by nature’s will 

It is man who has a superficial, cruel hierarchy built   

The desire for undue advantage, the fixation for borders 

And his mind is alone obsessed by artificial pecking orders

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
