Hide / by Keres

When atheists hide as shaman,

When priests are all but lies,

Would you look a mother

In a face that dies?

Would you conclude 'no thought -

She isn't one of us' ?

Would you move a mountain

(pulverized to dust)?

Particle displacement,

Is it time of yore?

Earth is not a juke box,

To be tilted always to gore;

This was Earthly Paradise,

Yet Still You Do Not See;

You think every particle

Must belong to ye,

But molten Earth and gravity,

Are the Time I Choose.

Think Deeply and Think Quickly

Or Every Time We Lose.

If Earth is Always Finite,

Then dear, So Are We,

Stop looking toward the past;

It is the Dust of Ye.

So Move into the Present:

Which Future is Your Gift?

An Untimely Heresy,

Or Another Quantum Lift?

Choose Now In the Present

Who You Will Always Be,

or Alchemical Flux -

It Means Naught To Me.

If God has crafted Soul

Are You Dark or Are You Light?

What does it matter

If all are dead

tonight?
