Would that Man were like the sky Which doesn't fuss when clouds roll by. Would that he were like the wind In patience blowing rock to sand Would that he were like a bee The common good is all he sees! Would that Man were like the rain Which mourns when someone is in pain. Would that he was like the ant Who is wise won't say "I can't..." Would that he be like a tree Safe heaven's in its canopy. Would that man were like the bird Grumbling is never heard. Would that Man were like a cloud But he's like thunder. Warlike. Loud. Could he be more like a flower? It knows that it will last but hours. Would that Man were like the seas Which only dances in a storm's breeze! Would that he be like hard ground Trodden... ... but a sprout is found! Would that he be like a fire Warmth and sparks... ... his heart inspires! He could be a mountain range Solid and in peace arranged. Would that Man be like the sun Shining down on everyone! But Man is not like nature's best As this world will attest. If he'd look at her then he would see Then, finally, he would be FREE (C) The Raven (C) SoulSurvivor

Patchwork sky beyond the reach —They breach the alley way Swimming swathes amidst the blue —Flash the knives and young curses Lost for incongruity —Mere kids, mere savagery All, now, is coated silver —Empty packets hunger We move on toward our night —Shame young beasts grow old, too.

Genesis 3

Patchwork sky beyond the reach —They breach the alley way Swimming swathes amidst the blue —Flash the knives and young curses Lost for incongruity —Mere kids, mere savagery All, now, is coated silver —Empty packets hunger We move on toward our night —Shame young beasts grow old, too.
