A new poem

Yesterday I've started a new poem while I was sitting around in English class without anything to do. I was looking around and kept glancing at the trees in the court yard admiring their beauty, elegance and just them there. Then I decided to write a poem about it. After I wrote the first couple of lines down I decided I'd make the poem symbolize man's oppression of nature and how overcrowding, urbanization and modernization are all stripping away at the beauty of nature. I could guess right now, anyone who would read the poem would guess it's standing up against what man is doing with cities and buildings and stuff. I don't wish to join a movement of preservation or anything, I just wanted to write a poem expressing how we're doing all this. If it changes someone or inspires them, oh well. If it makes someone mad and sparks harsh criticism or controversy, oh well. That's just the kind of stuff my hero, Ralph Waldo Emerson went through when he went down the path of transcendentalism and decided that what protestantism or any other Christianity stuff and so forth and its teachings were all wrong or whatever. He was absolutely right about how they made Jesus Christ.

Nature to me is absolutely beautiful. It's artwork and that's about it. I also don't think a whole lot of people can sit back and admire nature's beauty as they used to. Then again, transcendentalism is defined by a deep respect and admiration for nature so I'd might as well be an out-and-out transcendentalist like Ralph Waldo Emerson and the rest of the Transcendental Club he founded.
