you know that primal Eden?
we never left it!
and soon, if we do not change,
it will become a carcass!
yes, we need means of commerce,
a clean environment too.
there is one other factor
as important as those two
and that is social justice.
add these three parts together
and you are on the way to
true sustainability
and healing Eden.

She falls asleep, placing her head on my lap,
Lips murmuring that I smell good before taking her nap.
After her eyes close, I wait to see if she'll sit up again,
Talk to me more about the evil and good men.

But she doesn't, and snores slowly escape her lips,
And I forget about the vile poison she so often sips.
She finds comfort in my presence, is at ease,
Perhaps it has always been my duty to please.

If I can help her escape imprisonment,
She'll regain in her eyes that glint.
If I can be strong enough to help her kick the addiction,
I'll have remained her friend throughout the affliction.

The cold will always exist
It will always find us
It'll wrap itself around our frame
And squeeze until we're dust
And the agreement we had with fall
Will always break our trust
And like the leaves
We wither away
Lost.
I can feel the winter.

I'm not sure when
I fell asleep,
but suddenly
I had fallen
into night's
embrace

Can you hear me?
can you hear me in
the blue of slumber
where I'm not even
aware
I'm
reaching out for
you

I want to know
you love me
just like I
want to know
the moment where
my mind
succumbs
to quiet and
lets my tired
body sleep

I need you so much
I almost
cannot
sleep.
Would the World hold on

when in subconsciousness

of every homini haunts

the unforgiven horrors:

the mass destruction,

abolition, slaughter,

genocide, slavery

wages, sweat, and treason.




Please, unnamed power,
send me on another planet.
I want to resign. I want to resign.
