we slide into obscurity

we, when we were joined

felt no such isolation

felt no such misdemeanour

the world was truly only a ball of land with seas

no oceans separated us

which create fear

we were surrounded by oceans in the sky

filtering the sun

to land gently on our planet

nourishing our god given life

but we mistepped perhaps

perhaps we went too far

and the water fell from the sky and divided us

into separate regions

knowing this great flood

was accompanied by tumultuous subterranean forces

we reason that this 

was related.

we reason 

that the earth was divided

by our stupidity

and we know and understand

that gravity has been dealt  gravely by us

and has responded in a similar manner

altering the shape, size and conditions  of the earth

not to our demise

not to its correction

but to its bringing forth

of its final demise

when fire sends down its destruction 

in its turn

on balance

on mankind

on his soulful quest

for freedom.

on his spiritless quest

for an illusion

on both
