maybe a brittish narrator, with each object a little moving-pictures would be shown as a demonstration of that object.

“From the fountain.. to the potted plant.. to the common household cat (in a slightly happy tone, showing a really nice cat with a meow that’s obviously not from that cat, but is just a regular meow.. stock meow) .. and dog (slightly less enthusiastic, showing an annoying dog and playing a stock woof) to the child (not sure what would be the visual here, the sound could be a series: a cry, a laugh, a scream?), People feel the unstoppable need to try and control (this last bit rewrite) nature. (somehow adding in somewhere) and fail. (showing visuals of fountain running dry, people looking in; a time-lapse plant dying; a cat laying down, obviously just sleeping.. stretching or something.. same with the dog and child, the child could look really scripted, like hands at sides laying on back flat as a board).”
