In Awe of the Earthly Terrorists

In Awe of the Earthly Terrorists ________________________________________ What is AWE? It is like the gasping for breath – Inhaling the smog filled air It is like being frozen in time and Suddenly waking as the ice sheets melt under your feet It is like the fluttering of your heart At the birth of something new Like our mutant renditions of biology It is like the calming of humility When gazing out on God’s painted sky Tho humility is abscent in The presence of imperity It is like the sudden intensity of excitement Just before surprise Will we be surprised when it’s GONE??? It is like the noticing of each grain of sand Being distinguished between your toes WE. DO. NOT. distinguish what is EXTINCT It is like the warmth of intimacy That blankets your skin Delicate Gripping Needed We are such wasteful violators holding nature in contempt!!! It is like the impeccable sensation of fear Instentaneously becoming a Welcoming of ease When all you LOVE is safely guarded from distress We do not LOVE this earth No one can guard this earth We are such hypocrites!!! We are the TERRORSTS Wanting to be AWED
