Nature deserves what it gets: prison. Nature is the most dangerous and vicious killer in existence. Innumerable in form, lurking everywhere, nature is eroding what we are, crumbling what we build, biting, clawing, electrocuting, soaking, freezing, scorching us no matter where we go or what we do. There it looms, threatening us with death from within our very being. And the scariest thing? Nature is without intention, it simply is. Soon we simply will have been. Cage it fast.

Near lake Chuzenji in Nikko, we took an elevator to the pool of Kegon falls
and observed it's laughable power from a safe and optimal distance
atop a concrete viewpoint.


Not far from Tokyo, we watched these pathetic hammerhead sharks
run headlong into that magnificent human invention: glass!
Hey hammerheads, build a raft, suckers!

I hear you! everything that's living needs to be put in as small a cage as manageable. that way we can laugh at whatever it happens to be in as infantile a way as possible. this will help us evolve as a species.

Agreed. Either they get caged up, or we do.
