dark gods walk the earth

i saw dark gods walking the earth tall strong broken women and men with hearts connected and on fire i saw children playing in peace and growing in love i smelled health and abundance in the winds of change what should we do when doing is outdated? we shall lie upon a mountain and call out to the heavens and drink nectar from only the juiciest of fruits and realize our Truth and sameness we made music so we could remember our true selves we wrote poems and moved our bodies to rhythms no one ever knew i saw our lands overflowing with the milk we extracted and pasteurized and bottled and delivered but never drank being intolerant of the lacking flavor in dry white toast we are the very lands we couldn’t bury our ancestors in we couldn’t let anyone take the seeds they’d sewn the ancient ones the ones who planted the seeds for us seeds that overpopulated an unsuspecting nation on the brink of collapse
