A New World From the Old

May 22, 2011

There are things in life I have not done

And many that I still must do

And things I wish I had not done

But past is past and there are few

Who can unravel the skeins of time.

That aside, the future glows

Bright with promise, a golden age

Now dawns and slowly wisdom grows

Though destruction seems our just reward,

Catastrophe on catastrophe

Volcanic fires and quakes that kill;

Earth, a living entity

Will not condone man's abuse

Of the sacred trust vouchsafed to him

Her energies now let loose

Seem to augur man's demise,

Til he has paid the price of greed.

A new world from the old shall rise

And the age of Kali soon recede.
