In the Beginning
By Rowan
Understanding in your superior design,
will eternally escape my apprenticed
grasp.
Sitting among the brilliant sun and moon,
floating with
the tamed, restless clouds
and shooting stars across the midnight
sky.
A kingdom of gold and silver tapestries,
each with
a tale told of great triumph and the Fall.
The sharp edge of the world
slicing
into the heart and soul of Mother's womb
with wine dripping
from hungry, carnal lips.
Listening to silence of the summer
springs,
dusk settles over the calms of the royal seas.
Children
of sacred gardens dance to the drums,
sensuously gyrating to death's
chilling song
beckoning to them on bleeding wings of glory.
Pilfering nature's fruitful treasures illiberally,
ruining your
vast creation with scornful tendencies.
To birth a white lamb just
for ritual sacrifice,
slaughtered by malice and pure hatred
for
nothing more than the rotting carcass that's left!
Like rabid
wolves devouring sickness for flesh,
battling for the last scrap of
dignity.
As if starving when sustenance was before you
and the
choice to take all for granted,
swift in feral mind to conquer.
A forest with no voices resounding through day,
starry night
filled with unrelenting quiet.
Cavernous valleys of dry desert dust
and crumbling mountains in a stoney gorge,
hiding the graves of
impending extinction.
Ignorance will not lead to beauty in bliss,
but destruction in our fading humanity.
And yet, we've chosen this
fate without reluctance,
without a sorrowful tear shed for Mother's
hurt
and the pain formed by her massacring spawn.
