Millennium

Now the millennium and to the heights

Of Supermind as earth in turmoil cries,

Her body poisoned, the rivers of her veins

Awash in toxins and overwhelming her skies

Polluting clouds of chemicals suspend

The rising miracles of moon and sun.

A landscape seen through a dense and darkening haze

Her contaminated soil from battles won

And lost by the hands of fierce and warring men

Whose need to kill and maim and rape and rend

Asks rest that she rejuvenate again

Her blue of lake and sky, her fertile fields,

Resume her evolutionary climb

With a secret mandate from the hidden supreme

Inhabitant who chose through space and time

This treasure hung on the starry boughs of night

To house His joy and full supernal light.
