Boulders
I find solace among the trees
It's a very quiet place to be
Away from human interaction
buried in the heart and soul of the convention
Boulders scattered underneath the trees
spanning over many centuries
I wonder how they got there
The ice age must have deposited them there
Rotten logs lay flat between them
repeating a favorite bible verse
Where the tree falls there it lies
until judgement takes it to the sky
Dead trees tell no tales and the boulders
are witness of the age
I stood on top of a giant boulder
and view the place all over
someone must have been hanging out there
because I saw an empty beer can
bearing the slogan "born in the Rockies"
and a gigantic bird feather laying close by
suggesting that something might be cooking in the sky
The Indians were at peace before the bulldozer came
And drive them out into open shame
The mountains could not hold them and the
trees could not contain them
The trees the rocks the ocean and the river
put them together and you will get the answer
The story has been told over and over
until it is spilling all over
Mystics come and go
showing you which way to go
Whether you go right or left
you will experience the same death
King Solomon was a wise man
But he corrupted the entire land
with evil Gods and beautiful women
He thought that was the best path
to make his Kingship last
Strange Gods start pouring in
left right and center
Speechless God without hands and ears
bearing a wicked Karma
Wooden Gods, stone Gods
and all types of evil Gods in the cosmic
whom they believe will make them prosper
But they are aiming for a terrible disaster
The churches are bear and empty
And false Gods surround the pulpits
Driving a wedge in the congregation
Causing much desolation
Solomon and his foreign concubines
Created a new bloodline
setting the world on fire
stirring up a real hell-fire
and provoking people to conspire
