Sadness Is Not

Sadness Is Not

Sadness is not trees reaching for the sky 
with existential angst of hungry hope 
for something more beyond this transient life 
while knowing we are temporary beams 
of atoms waking from First Flash of Love 
who end rotting in graves of arrogance. 

Sadness is not birds beating wings of love 
with innocent respect for swirls of air 
which fuels organic memories of strife 
against enclosing darkness of despair 
that crushes bodies of organic light 
though we sing one hour of eternity. 

Sadness is not horses galloping swift 
along time-curving shores of sparkling streams 
with eager passion to explore the Earth 
till singing monkeys bind their fateful flight 
to build sprawling empires of thought control 
we expand with piston engines of hope. 

Sadness is not cows plowing fertile soul 
with steady strength of hungry innocence 
when wingless angels assemble in choirs 
to sing hymns on ziggurats of desire 
where Ishtar weaves Creation of the World 
when she lifts her son Jesus to the stars. 

Sadness is not devils wearing gray suits 
to manage finances through global banks 
for faceless kings in cyber palaces 
who enslave world workers with credit cards 
through zephyrine power of cryptic runes 
while they cheer for Venus with golden curls. 

Sadness is not angels wearing blue jeans 
to fix piston engines of auric cars 
that workers drive to find paradise lost 
in putrid fog from fervent factories 
where holy virgin of seraphic grace 
wields Sword of Justice against tyranny. 

Sadness is not computers scanning brains 
of organic creatures with conscious souls 
based on artificial intelligence 
to analyze nature of perceived things 
compose of atoms swerving in the void 
that form Ideas which the Ungod dreams. 

Sadness is not ghosts seeking to connect 
fragile bodies with games of Providence 
as shadows of the well-remembered dead 
who haunt us as the absence of their being 
so we share halcyon days of discipline 
to nurture children of Imperium.
