we make movies

Post by saw » September 23rd, 2019, 9:43 am

we make movies
write poems,
look at the moon
in bloody October
through chilled air

we cry like wolves
laugh like hyenas
play like otters
dance like insects
across a pond

we assume
mother earth
will always
be here for us
we make movies
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

we assume
with false humility
that we are too small
to harm beloved Gaia
we underestimate
the destructive powers
that we have created
and unleashed
in our unceasing quest
for el dorado
we fail to see her falter
we refuse to acknowledge her frailty
we hope with blind fervor
that she will always be here for us
selfish children that we are
we truly care
only for ourselves
.
"Falsehood flies, the Truth comes limping after it." - Jonathan Swift, ca. 1710

She'll be here,
one way or another.
But will we? And how?

Plant proteins and no fossil fuels
Water
reason is over rated, as is logic and common sense-i much prefer the passions of a crazy old woman, cats and dogs and jungle foliage- tropic rain-and a defined sense of who brings the stars up at night and the sun up in the morning---

A car with desire on its face
We are concerned with the remains of the tree
