In the Now of Self

Ecology's Goal

In the Now of Self

Crystals knocking on a door of fame
You see his stature, you see his name
Crowds gather in an applause of rings
Smiles turn to white teeth meaning his fame is in

In alleyways across Earth's tundra
Blunder, famine, corruption fill the wonder
In poses known as Eskimos
The chill of stillness finds its home.

Across the middle age of life's breathing cycle
Air fills lungs with screeching tires
To hustle the signposts of relative success
The lie fills our pockets with green bread dread

I found the animal that hides in me
A natural habit in ecology's tree
My steps lead me to songs of Earth
As I live in the now of self.

That's Honey as CEO. My puppy friend and Jackson's sidekick. What seems to be lacking is a kind of Earth rhythm where we replenish what we take. Thanks FT!

love the pic, first of all, Al... my dog is asleep at my feet :)

loved this piece, Al... we live in the now but should be worried about what we are doing to the environment... companies and governments buying credit so that they can continue to pollute at higher rates, as if it will balance the damage that has been done... we consume the Earth faster than it can rejuvenate as our lungs fill with acidic air...
