Poems
Dec 2016
Once Upon a Time
There once was a world
So green and blue
With skies of clarity
Beneath them which
All breath of life
Was shared in harmony
Each blade of grass
Fought not for land
To own as property
Each creature knew
Not of to want,
To take, or gluttony
Without language,
Paper, or pen
They signed the peace treaty
Without a war drum's
Orchestra
It still composed its symphony
No anthems, flags
Or border walls
Need signify such unity
No laws, or kings
Or governments
Controlled Nature's democracy
Until the day
These mortal hands
Picked fruits of its divinity
And biting down
They tasted only
Serpentine theology
