EARTH : alive and unwell, broken in opinion and belief.
Every day, the swarm rises to battle
against itself, the energies collide like waves sent by gods
with their distinct controls and purposes.
At times the wealthy struggle to maintain
Their grip upon the poor
The powerful struggle to maintain
Their grip upon the weak.
It is a massive injustice
of forms
your home
born by the ages
of happiness and discontent.
Where the soul cannot carve out it’s joy
it rebels against the structures built around it.
But they are strong. Entrenched by force and by belief.
Our jokes, our laughter. Stop, hurting me says
the diva, stop hurting me, says the earth.
Yet cruelty cares not about the suffering of those
left behind. Normalizes the forms of exploit and exploitation.
The hierarchies of influence and belief. The Government
Marches onward, and the governed play their part.
Every day a dance, was the dream. Every day in peace
the rising into our perfection our perfected ways our rituals
of work and way, of food and sleep and drink. Every rising sun
one among the millions: us, in the vastness of space of unknown
mysteries beyond. We need
a revolution. We need a change of pace. To till the soil
that new plants may grow unto the infinite abyss
of time. We need a new
religion. To bind us back to what we are. And us together not
against: holy beaming bodies on the street in response,
in articulation, in dream, at the screen, has the screaming of our
ancestors not woken you up yet?
We should destroy the state
of being wherein some can tell others what to do
But not the other way around. Wherein the genius
of language is turned to lock us into place. Burn the contracts,
burn the schedule and return to the void, return to the ever living
souls around us, in each direction. Return to
ritual of giving and belief. I’m ready
to give you my life. Are you? I’m ready to give you
unending blessings, unending gifts. What time
we have left, what time we’ll have together until
we are always together on the earth.
I’ve seen the beaming souls: beyond
structure, beyond names, beyond the end
of war, apocalypse of light, and here stand
poised to send them some back at you
and say, this is where we are going:
to the fields of divinity and truth
to the oceans of selfless contain
to love, and light, and truth.
