Talk of Money


All this talk of money, as if it makes the world go ‘round?
The irony is that money is the root of our malevolence abound.
The contradiction- Money’s the cause of our sightless shame,
the source of our woes, the foundation of the fire’s flame.

We need remember the exactness of why we’re here at all,
consider the human function and commit ourselves to the call.
Instead of chitchatting so much of foul money’s need,
let’s sincerely converse of humankind’s original seed.

Please consider what you need before considering what you want,
the difference could not be clearer, the distinction more important,
want comes with gleaming teeth honed by money’s greed,
need comes with the breath fulfilled by nature’s seed.

Think.

I have been witness to the four pillars and see no reason to carry death there. Doesn’t the world know that life moves for more than just the sons of Abraham? O! I see the stunned throats floating by in the dusk to their stiff-limbed sleep as metal rains down over the Jordan’s western prophet, children dying there. I am here, waiting, breathing in the dusk under the shadow of the patriarch, asking, can we again build the shrine inside the soul and leave our flesh to time? © 2008 mrp/thepoetryman

SKYFALL

Skyfall... We continue to play along with an unnatural game that has serious consequences, soon we'll find ourselves enslaved without recourse to the system. (Is that true of local charades?) Yes. (Why can't we free ourselves from the system?) The madness of money. (It's not money, it's people, right?) It's both, money and us in tandem, thus assuring money's might and our adherance to its loudness. (Madness...) Indeed. © 2017 Mark Richard Prime

THE ROCK HOLDS

The rock holds the soil in and from the soil springs the tree, the green of LIFE rolling from the blue, rising to the occasion of itself. . “Be!”, the (H)eartH declares, “Be what you are!” . (We thought we were!) . (We think we are!) . “You are, but not freely, therefore, only a thought, and a thought without much thinking, as if you were scared into it.”, the (H)eartH added. .
