It was a lovely day, a lovely morning.
The sun was shining bright in the lovely clear blue sky. A sky so serene and calming that you can never get bored of it. I thought that a lovely day like today shouldn't be wasted cooped up in a box made of brick we call house. I thought that maybe I could explore what little nature there is around me. Expectations was building up like a child eating her favorite cake. I was thrilled by the idea. Chores done I dashed out eagerly accompanied with nothing but myself.
Step by step I walked to my favorite place.
My secret place which wasn't really a secret coz it's not exactly well hidden but at least it secured me from people's curious glance and besides it was the best I could find. That place is nothing but a spot at the end of my house's side lawn.
My little garden
as I prefer to call it although I wished it was more colorful. Located near the back gate and the kitchen. The place where my family pile all the unused stuff at. Old aquariums, boxes, crates, gardening tools and even two trash cans and you get the idea. It's not exactly the best spot for a 15 year old to relax but it was all I got.
Good thing about my little hideout is that you can observe what little nature you can discover in a city. You can rest under the shades the green lush trees. Although the plants there aren't much but it was good enough. Observe the fine details of the wonderful creations. So fine so grand so beautiful. Even the dullest plainest tree are lovely. The simplicity of it brings out the beauty. Every little details makes up the tree.
The sweet atmosphere of being away from judgemental humans is definitely a plus. Away from prying eyes. Away from any unwanted emotions. Just you and the lovely creations.
Sit down, relax, and silently wait.
The residents of the garden will soon come out. Another lovely creations.
They won't notice you nor disturb you. All they do is circle around flowers and trees and occasionally land on them and all you need to do is to let the silence last.
Slowly, one by one peeps out from their hiding place. The place will suddenly be swarmed by them. Suddenly the place some thought was dull brightens up, a fiesta was held. It's is as if the lovely creatures was dancing a merry merry dance and singing a jolly tune because they know, they know what beauty the world behold.
A beauty so beautiful that you can stare at it all day long and simply wish time will stop.
but let's stop here. Back to the title. Face it. Today my hopes were crushed.
My only ticket to nature without unnecessary company were for now in a way was destroyed.
All because of us. Humans. The nightmares of nature.
How do you expect our world to be well cared for when we're long gone when childrens can't even play outside peacefully. When childrens can't even appreciate and enjoy what little nature they have when forced to live among dull buildings and polluting vehicles roaming around 24 hours and when kidnappers can pop out from anywhere.
Where is the future you promised your childrens?
It all roots down to ourselves. How we deal with nature. The gift that God has given us.
What is happening to this world? Where are the freedom a child is supposed to have. The freedom of getting to peacefully play outside among the flowers and butterflies. That merry magical laugh that only a child can hold possession.
Face it.
Everything was screaming at my face just minutes ago.
It has changed.
The world has changed.
I used to play outside, play with my neighbours till the sun sets.
technologies were brought forward to replace the loss.
Too advanced that kids are no longer kids.
Humans are no longer humans.
Sanity is slowly deteriorating.
What can we do. What are we doing. I'm not even asking. It's a statement that has become synonym to the reality we're living in right now.
Face it.
