How Heavy is the Planet?
My thought:
The planet is a mind-crushing feather.
Unsurvivable yet divine.
The inhabitants work feverishly to both save and murder God's greatest gift.
The planet must find mankind bi-polar.
Save the whales!
But wait, they have oil.
Save the elephants!
But wait, they have ivory.
Save humanity!
But wait, they have free labor.
Power, greed, and selfishness prevail,
over beauty, art, science, and philosophy.
The planet does not deserve mankind,
the exchange is greatly unbalanced.
As observers we watch,
from afar,
waiting for our turn in line.
A lunch line where those with money,
pay to cut in the front,
because they are impatient,
children.
The kind and generous,
sit at the back of the bus.
Waiting.
and waiting.
Hopefully it will be their turn in line,
before starvation settles.
When mankind is ready,
Heroes will appear,
to reveal the true potential of mankind.
The planet is heavy,
but it is also very light.
It's merely lunch time,
with no end in sight.
