Poetry

Earth

written by: alf hickey

The Heart strings of the Earth
Pulled by the hands of us
To and Fro with our deeds
Dark and Light
Written in the text of the planet
Read and See

Tea leaves a waste
Psychobabble mumbo jumbo
Look again and see
Read the dust, the water, the sun
Like a mirror person
The earth reflects our state with God

Our heart strings are pulling
Wearing out to the death
And strings need to pull us to the next
Place beyond this place
Pulling to heights or depths
Cut foul strings

Strings that puppeteer shame
Shame to the almighty
That breeds lust in the eyes of men
Lust for money, woman, wealth, house
Tangled token treasures
Led blindly by the fingers of self
