LAZY HELL OF EARTH

the glorious heavens are converging

over the lazy hell of earth


but as above so below

so then tell how the stars and galaxies


can be joyous while the planet

convulses under ignorant human hunger?


do they know something we don't yet know

and are sending it to us in these shock waves?


with so many worlds occupying this earth

we see how one person's sin is another's virtue


how the most deserving go without

while the non-contributors roll in ease


what synthesis of holiness do we weave out of this?

we who have no idea what will come of our acts?
