Upon the Quaking Earth

The pious overlords 

Who try to legislate what's true

Will never comprehend the like

Of men like me and you.

Nor women, fiercely logical,

With firm, determined eyes,

Nor children, strong and confident, 

Accepting no more lies,

Whose lives they know are forfeit

In this world we leave behind.

That seismic shift, the reckoning 

Of a great, unpunished crime. 

But dance upon the quaking earth

With fearlessness and grace.

And recommit to earth,

Your own true nature re-embrace.

Lucid, free and solid,

In the present moment dwell.

One mindful step upon the earth,

Your ticket out of hell.
