THE CHILDREN PLAYED
Mother softly waited, her children rambunctious played on ignorant
She wept as hot rays penetrated her crust and poisoned her waters broke
Air stifling at times preyed on the old and the weak
Toxins galore created for her in deep labs undetected lay quiescent burning
The children played on
Fish and elephants unbeknownst to each died terrible slowness
Birds croaked their last with lead ballast weighing wings
Curious the news meddled the truth and picture pretty presented
The children played on
Safely the suburbs watered their lawns and stirred a Starbucks
Hot rods flamed highways grinning at picket fences
Nothing usual and progress calculated preyed on fears in recessed minds
The children played on
Invention the necessity came from time to time longing to be heard
We’re not gonna take it the cry resonated in heavy bogs
A spark comes live to ears unheard voicing commands long forgotten
The children played on
Mother smiles and keeps softly waiting occasional rumbles lifting her skirt
The ground heaves and ants scurry to save the other while devastation rules
Erupting earth wakes understanding in minds fostering altering change
Bright light suffuses darkness that served it well
The children play on
Revolt at blackness a treaty comes paving paths anew to live
Conference calls criss cross the globe the new age beckons
Firm resolve pushes boundaries lost in ages birthing crisis in squares and fields
The children think
A reset cries loud and fills the soul new governance heard and action now
A golden touch to money planned and turmoil stirs the juices fresh
What will this bring frustration ends
The children hope
Twelve odd candles light the way ruled by twenty one old faces
Time to end the dark spirit folds and playgrounds spring in cities old
Changes hold the truth up high spraying Love to corners four
The children pray
God smiles in and floods the path with shining acts of furies bold
And fairy dust swirls round swollen ankles playing tricks in mirrors of smoke
A banker stumbles and forgets to count a clerk resembling faces killed
The children act
A global reset comes all sins forgiven calming winds sing in the trees
Rejoicing revels unfolding wings carrying new Humanity’s wish abundant
No more war and peace prevails tumbling up the slope of Heaven
The children smile and come alive
Tomorrow comes
