What We Have
Just like we have everything,
We could have had nothing.
No natural law prescribes
Hot water in the tub,
Apples in the pantry,
Body cream and lotion.
Just like we have everything,
We could have had nothing.
No natural law prescribes
Hot water in the tub,
Apples in the pantry,
Body cream and lotion.
Be it on the RIng of Fire,
Or the Hurricane Trail,
The slaughterhouses of war
Or the flying nukes path…
It’s the location, buddy…
I need to be reminded daily
That this exists over there,
Having it own place around our sun,
As we read the “news”, watch TV…
When inside,
You wish – out
So as to witness from a distance
How it ripples, waves…
When outside,
You wish – in…
Shoes separate us from earth,
Clothes – from wind,
Religion – from our sexuality,
Sunglasses and sunscreen
From the light of day
We have replaced
Wild animals with cats and dogs
Birds of the skies with pigeons and crows
Bee pollinators with cockroaches and flies
Bison with cows
…Forests with pastures
We , the βeta people
Are the ones for whom
Morality, Religion, Loyalty
Were created,
Just like we have everything,
We could have had nothing.
