Heavy Water Brevity
The ancient ones spoke about sky people
arriving from a black basket of stars.
Who gifted them deep knowledge- taught them fantastic things
showed them the secrets of universal wisdom
to discern between the trinity of halos, yokes and rings.
Gifted them messages from the god of goodness and light...
...but the sky people could see that this was a deeply flawed species
arrogance and selfishness was deeply rooted in their genes.
They would never listen completely-golden lessons soon to patina.
The sky people left when their hopeless task was done.
retreating to their basket of stars and the blessings of all eternity.
Leaving forever the faithless ones
with rocks for hearts and war writhing in their veins.
Who can only dream in realms of heavy water brevity and self- inflicted pain.
