@americanboy011 thats right, as i mediate, god made nature to be a shelter for human beings, to delight in it, but human beings sterted to spoil it in uncommon ways, they do not know that at the end we will be sorry for losing nature, the only shelter for human beings.
@zola1313hk I like your lyrics ,as free as an eagle ,the only sure that they have are the people who spoil the natural ,it would be a bring shame on if these animals were extinct
What a fantastic feeling to be free as an eagle! I wish I could be like an eagle, when there will be no limitation for all the thoughts that I have, when no one can capture me, when no one could tell me what to do, what to say. i will not give up, I will live as an eagle to the end of time.
