PEACE-GLITTERING EARTH

 

Every day we count the hours

We moan and groan about the seeds of our hands

We pack our sandwiches in porcelain plates

and pretend we're holy and golden

 

Climb the Head Mountains to be the first in the boss lane

Without hesitation we pluck feathers from our neighbours' eyes

Artificial angel wings come from our mouths

Ragged people in sea-sand clothes beg for our mercy

 

  We swim in our own green poisonous words

Rock 'n Roll caskets fly out of our hands

More and more pollution rolls from our tongues

 Poison ivy flows from our hearts

We drink our own golden sunlight

 

With ice fingers we dissect the innocent, the poor

We wear our artificial halos around our necks

Golden sphere-clothes cover our bodies

Angel-wings are on sale in rich women boutiques

 

We climb the human-ladder

Push the heads of the powerless down with our heel

Use and abuse our children in the name of progress

Cheat is the new world-order in our marriages

Alcohol is the fruit juice for a cloud 9 happiness

Answers to high-mountain questions are developed in sci-fi labs

 

Christmas Day is only a money-making day

Our eyes ask "Is my gift more valuable than yours?"

All of us only want to wear a diamond crown

 

How will we survive when we buy nanobytes to eat

We destroy the only earth we have

 Dark clouds splatter at the back of our heels

We bite holes in our mates' hearts

Dance with wolves on the top of rainbow-drops

 

Our future-clock is threatening to fall from heaven

Earth is blood-screaming in our ears

Do we sail in our Viking boats to our own downfall?

Atomic-bombs smile bright-eyed at our arrogant-brains

 

Will we awake from this anaconda-snake dream

Let us take each other's hand and build a peace-glittering earth

or did we already betray the only planet that really loves us
