We know in our hearts what is right

But walking the middle way

Through the dichotomy of life

Is harder than

coal burned to a diamond

Is harder than

unswerving love

Who watches us

While we pretend to see the light of God

Setting fires to the earth

Devouring the land for

confined feeding grounds

Devouring the land for

highways 'round our garden

We're gonna pave it all

In our soulmindlessness

Entrapping others

Diverting them from life's truths

Whilst calamity after calamity

Engulfs the world

Will we awaken in time

To secure a future for our grandchildren

Or do we burn them too

In our gluttony

In our soulmindlessness

life as a spider

has its perks

your home is your castle

with sticky hallways

better than a moat

You can work from home

your dinner is delivered

but it is often lonely

until you have visitors

especially those humaniods

stumbly round your hall

obliterating floors and walls

without a care

If that human

put me in a spider zoo

I might live twenty years

How many times

would he stumble thru

my home then

Green

garden leaves

first man rising up

after a rain

Walks out his cave

thirsty

rises from the lake

he spots first rabbit

burned flesh

lightening struck

first man reaches down

burns his fingers on rabbit's flesh

instinctively

first man sticks his fingers in his mouth

to cool them

what's this taste

of burned flesh mean

first man eats first rabbit

a chunk sticks in his throat

not an apple at all

Adam panics

as he falls from grace

not temptation but fate

For this, he must blame Eve

1. the act of blocking human spiritual connections with all sentient life as a result of institutional influences and societal rituals.

e.g. Many school lunches jam our children's innate love for all animals by denying them plant based food options thus continuing their unknowing participation in today's unsustainable food rituals.
