A Monument To Air

Whatever our bodies could have done If only, there was, little less of poison The hoardings’ screaming. Loud Drinking Coke was in. In fashion We sprayed aerosols in airs Filled our bellies with alcohol Artificial lights of late nights Food sprayed with chemicals Such a divine vehicle is the body We compared it, to an automobile Vehicles designed aerodynamically Curves compared to breasts & thighs Foods. Airs. Thoughts. Limbs and sinews Creativity. Minds. Expressions. Discoveries We tread this ground. This wonderful earth The body is the means. Will not last forever In the limited time there’s a lot to discover May there be less poison, more laughter 'There is enough for the need of every Not enough to fill greed of just one' A prayer, to heal. Time to recover We trust. World is getting better . Fear has a new form. It is in air Fear of death is lurking in the air Remember the air is just a carrier The air is untouched, a pure element Air carries, untouched by foul or fragrance Airless none survives, airs must touch all elements Our minds have the nature of air, the airs we exchange Our surroundings, airs, fears, words that foul or are healing Recall, mind has nature of air, the closest airs we are inhaling Think pure pristine breathe easy all and every being, blessed Be Flow as air words. Pause. Rise. Carry all the essence unburdened Twigs, particles, dust, fragrance, tears, joys’, hopes, ambitions Touch all, penetrate, all beings, plants, animals, fires, water Ether, music, space, light, particles, rainbows, scents There is Not a life that You the Air do not sustain Forgetful us, we never built a Monument to Air.
