The next time we get together to cry 
about how flowers wither in hot sun, 
Tellus will bring glass jar of demon tears 
to nurture souls of angels in small seeds 
who grow into children with sparkling eyes 
before bullets splatter their souls on grass. 

Careful analysis of water flow, 
within context of material exchange, 
proves why excessive passion of desire 
cracks concrete channels of clandestine code 
that redesigns children with sparkling eyes 
who play hide and seek in ruins of church. 

Reverse psychology of social laws 
never works to change behavior with fear, 
relabeled as incentive to mature 
against relentless tides of profit gains 
that tricks hearts of children with sparkling eyes 
to believe in lie of the Afterlife. 

Elected by the people of her state 
to establish affordable health care, 
Tellus drives to work across Bridge of Faith 
till assassins give her apples to eat 
so she can feed children with sparkling eyes 
who play in rubble of their bombed-out homes. 

Clipboard in hand as wind blows her charged hair, 
Tellus organizes fairies and ghosts 
to stack bricks of bombed buildings on wood carts 
so they can rebuild empire of dead gods 
reborn as our children with sparkling eyes 
who pretend they are puppets without strings. 

Amazed at beauty of our broken world 
that functions on laughter of hungry hope, 
Tellus writes complex formulas of fate 
on chalkboard in crowded college classroom 
to educate children with sparkling eyes 
on using magic to build paradise. 

When Neptune wakes from dream in fountain pool, 
startling tourists in the large Florence square, 
Tellus gives him jeans and white shirt to wear 
as they stroll holding hands in evening glow 
to photograph children with sparkling eyes 
who are old gods reborn in human flesh. 

Concerned about current state of the world, 
when dictators disguised as presidents 
contest over whose God will rule the Earth, 
Tellus meditates with Shiva in cave 
visited by children with sparkling eyes 
through revolution of the working class.
