the eyes of the eyes
keepers of the inner gate
editors and chiefs

flash, news bulletin!
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.

looking in your eyes
i can see the beginning
of that laughing smile
and familiar sparkle
a decision caught in flight

a child crying out
for their mother in the night
no one else will do

a dark silent night
stars ablaze in black velvet
a fireball arcs down

the rain falls in tears
for the innocents now lost
slaughtered by our gods

he was dilgent
in painting his sugar pills
with a bitter coat
