possiblities of modern day Thoreau -ism

All good things are wild, and free. Henry David Thoreau
is it possible for us to be radical
and get to he root of what we all need?
-to each have the freedom to choose and gather in
a voice of solidarity
of civil dis-obedience?
why should we be born into the idea of
imprisonment of being separate from nature---
and indeed -from each other?
to be horrified spectators of human activity
are we not 'good' as is the bird, whale, and flower?
why do we cast the net of entrapment of other beings
to a whim of perceived power over- (and not power in)
-do not yield to 'that is just the way it is'
it is injustice to separate our children (and the whole humanity)
from the true nature of all beings -great and small
