So basically technology bad, nature good. I get it, but my counter to these arguments is that if nature is so great, why don't you go live off the land with no technology? It seems ironic and borderline hypocritical to write poems of how awful and robotic our modern world is and then... post it on the internet. Why share the poem on the internet? To contribute to the same exact cycle you're condemning.

Unless that's the point? Maybe it's satirical and I'm just being dense?

Like I said: if nature is the way to go, then go live naturally. It's not so great when you contract worms, break your leg, are stalked by predators or bitten by bugs all the while having to worry about bare necessities you've never even considered within our "awful" modern world.

Society has its drawbacks, but don't act as if the brutal and cold world that is nature is a walk in the park. It's uncaring and it's most likely you will die a very painful death if you lived in the wild.
