we're alone in creation--

whatever mystery animates creation

grinds on to its own ends--

and why go on sweating it?

why worry about a hereafter

or the continuance of the soul

in whatever way it continues?

we have our hands full

right here

right now--



to those who pray endlessly

but can't treat their fellow souls

righteously--fairly--civility--decently--

to those who think they will

get to some heaven and try keeping

others out--

to those who think they are god (and who doesn't

on some level)--

let them do their worst (they're so good at it)



for the rest--

no matter all the levels of the Infinite

being here

being now

on this earth we will always

have our hands full



we just have to be careful

with what...
