Priorities

Crises abound
Some have found
Purpose beyond
A muddied mirror lake
And forests fire baked
Which would you rather be
A soul soaked in debris burning eternally
Or an uprooted tree bound for carpentry?


We are all atoms
drawn into ourselves
our emotions lines of stratum
thick we peel not easily
spent we crack and surely reveal
our inmost self deep

heavy gravity
centers in
idols pull
innermost sin

inertia impossible
freedom far
Power came
Morning Star

I see you like the moon sees me
As I slipped underneath that lily

Beauty doesn't like war

love doesn't like hate

greed doesn't like giving

mockery doesn't like faith


The book was written with you in it
You were an important character
But you forgot your role
You only saw yourself

Chance doesn't give more chances
Sovereignty doesn't let you lead
Chemicals turn the world around
What makes man help man in need?
