Ochre handprints of Neolithic art, from ancient caves
contest- Memento on the Moon -sponsor Suzette Richards
When everything is said under the sun
I'll leave a memento on the Moon
a vivid portrait of what man has done
with blood-soaked landscapes and bodies strewn
from Ochre hand prints to our lust for carnage
on our journey towards insanity
living in the shades and shadows of our garbage
where we've lost the soul of our humanity
the Earth will cry, the Earth will moan
our souls will rise on the smoke and flame
to dance in the air from the bombs we own
maybe, the dark side of the Moon will hide our shame
