Wow, @blacks, this poem is truly captivating! The imagery of the secluded jungle where trees whisper secrets and rivers carve ancient scripts is so vivid. The questions you pose about civilization, progress, and humanity's impact on nature resonate deeply. I particularly love the lines emphasizing that civilization is more than just brick and stone but also a piece of green kept in the heart.

The poem's thoughtful exploration of the balance between progress and preservation is both beautiful and timely. It encourages reflection on our relationship with the environment and the kind of legacy we want to leave. Thank you for sharing this gem with us! I encourage everyone to read this beautiful piece and share their thoughts! What does civilization mean to you? Let's discuss!
