witness to this haunting
earthquakes and disasters
daunting reckless tsunamis
staunch fire storm masters
panicked we're crawling and falling
feeling manic and helpless
reeling war is calling
feral cavemen thought
about each survival mess
respecting carnal fear
cave dreams interpreted
through exacting harsh revival
a Neanderthal hunter's grinding strife
brandishing life's mindfulness
flaunting boomerang and flaked knife
invoking spirit in a precious spear
commanding mutual life
dominated by far and near
reprimanded by songlines
yet stone and bone survival
painting storied glyphs
existence and hunger remains clear
beside a hungry existential sea
all those trying winter high tides
then spring floods are coming
equinox with tribal full moon drumming
soundly bowing down to mindful earth
finding and grinding fruitful things
tracing fearful night into tactful day
pounding fat berries into pemmican
shaping antler and sundance rings
time into cultivated planting matters
both theirs and ours
so are we remarkably different
living civilization's shattered dreams
some things remain prophetic
imagine an eclipse of something new
everyone and everything
navigating this scattered journey
remains concentric
still harsh circumstances
we revolve in
so much ingenuous revolution
current evolution of generations
some things hurriedly washed away
eroded by civilization's raging water
incinerated by fire storm masters
envision this nagging phase we're in
we're all living modern and eccentric
picture this current drowning view
climate must be respectfully engaged
forget saying prayers and living rage
faith in borders won't save anything
necromancers and scientists and soothsayers
captive in that myopic cave they're in
even philanthropic light
is engulfed by fears and terrors
no ritual cave or tribal kin
rapturous equations and magic won't save us
nor tactful you or actual me
don't blame the sun or moon or blood red sea
for this hazardous world we're in
modern existence it seems
is religiously disastrous
consisting of fascist politics
this is their racist solution
imprisoning features
haunting weathered life
bombing tethered creatures
brandishing spears and knives
compounding disastrous things
hornets invading beehives
hateful terror is all they see
earthquakes and tsumanis please
still nothing can be free
