Tread Lightly

Tread Lightly

I made the air you breathe
I made the ground you walk on
I made the water you drink
I made the food you eat
I made the gold, diamonds, rubies,
Emeralds, platinum, and every other
Rare thing you have backed
Your money and resources on
Or from.
You came from my bones
And when you leave
Your bones will return
To me with nothing
That you have stolen
Or borrowed
For your very
Short
Lives.

Make no mistake
Asteroids have tried
To kill me,
And the only ones
You are hurting
Are your own chances
At survival.
“I”
Will be fine.

It may take me
A couple million years
To recover,
But
I have that kind
Of time
And resilience.
YOU on the other hand
Don’t have that
Kind of track record.

Some of you are like
The other cells of my body
In harmony and aligned
With my life force,
Others of you are like
Cancer, trying to take
My resources without
Caring if you live or die
So long as you thrive
You consume
Until all is gone
And move on
To the next thing
To consume.

Did the Lorax
Teach you nothing?

You will be feld
By a bee,
To teach you
Humility.

The smallest creatures
Are no less than you,
But they will feast
On your bones
And return you
To me…
As if you were
Never here,
Money isn’t
A legacy
If my ability to
Sustain your life
Or your children’s
Is spent on
Greed for greed’s sake.

The meek who shall
Inherit the earth
Are the cockroaches,
They have survived
Much worse than
You.

For those who are
Aligned with my life
Force, I hope
You can turn the tide
Of your cancerous cousins.
You have the ability
To heal their souls
Which means you cannot
Join them in hate
They must be transformed
And awakened by love
They cannot be legislated
To behave with a kind heart
Their hearts have to be reached
And that cannot happen
If you are aligned
With hating them,
For killing what is
Only the surface
Of my life,
Which will go on
Despite them.

They are infected
And healing is called for.
Try to remember
They are like addicts,
Which should be a disease
Not a crime.
The answer for which is
Connection.
It is said there are less than
6 degrees of separation,
The connection is there
Find it.

I believe in you.
Tread lightly.
The bees are watching
And they are judge,
Jury and executioner.
