Planetary Prayer
If the world was right
And all was just,
Our souls would be conjoined
Without any choice of freedom.
For what good is freedom
When feet must leave,
And lips must part,
And hands grasp only to let go?
The earth spins 'round
And orbits and tilts.
The winds whip and continents shift
And nothing is ever still.
The universe itself is locked
In a rush toward infinite expansion
'Til one day every atom will subside,
And all will freeze alone.
What good is freedom?
What good is Earth?
What good is this whole ******* cosmos
If leaving is all there is??
I do not want to move.
I do not want to walk or speak
Or disconnect your hands from mine.
I will be totally still.
But it is not enough.
The **** universe conspires
To draw us to our knees,
And wish for one more hour
Just. Like. This.
