we are not concrete

On god's paved Earth

the holy men are wrong

they preach to broken glass

buried under flesh and skin and fabric.

We should all be crying; mourning

the bleeding Earth in the Gulf of Mexico

belching out its own poison

but. I am concrete.

wishing tears would run down my face

screaming into the Forest "You are all that is holy"

and the holy men are wrong

the preach unto each other

under money and control and the american dream

redefining morality to suit your needs.

they ignore a pattern so simple

a pattern found in dirt;

bred in dirt

for intelligent life it is strange

that we are the only ones who do not know our meaning.

the amoeba knows

because Life is simple, and It is simple.

do not believe the holy men

even if your thoughts are shards of broken glass

even if your insides are incased in concrete. like mine

it makes me so sick, but i Know

and turn to your naked body saying

"You are all that is holy"
