a man grows up with what he loves through his lens and his heart discovering the beauty of the world and the animals that play their part he captures all that he can from his childhood up 'till now and see's a lot of disrespect which sits heavily on his brow he ponders on what he can do how he can make a change not to stand idly by to alleviate his pain he purchases a block 800 acres or so in a country named peru to make a difference with his gain conservation his point of view but alas his plans fall very short when an already raped block he finds and local tribes helping themselves to the land and it's designs he's confronted with decisions what is it he must do a stranger in a land where wealth is overdue he wants to tell them where to go he wants to tell them to stay there reasons make more sense survival their only way..........

About this poem:
a passionate man of action against the reality of life .........
Hi, Nuwahri61, The woes of land ownership, poetically portrayed by torn........, afflict so many across our planet. In he wants to tell them where to go he wants to tell them to stay, we are confronted by the dilemma. With so much land seized by force throughout history, who truly owns any land on which we hope to build our homes and, consequently, our lives? Thanks for sharing.
Yeah you are right Joy..........although saddened by the rainforest depletion , his compassion for the native people and their survival was just as strong as his love of nature ......i may have to do a part two on this one its a very interesting story.......thanks for your lovely thoughts Regards Nu

A very informative and thought-provoking write... excellent poetry as well. What got me the most... as mentioned in your reply, was the compassion.
Sometimes people are torn... but often not to the point shown here. A true picture of a compassionate soul...
