Ode To a Planet

My earth, my mother! You wrapped your self In the vesture of selfless eyes I dub you it divine, In your comity letter To the green mountains And scars in the mug of the ocean I heard your voice Far from my mother’s womb In the splendid beauty of your hearth The grasses grow To uphold it They disguised you From your creator’s face At their first plump in Eden My earth, my mother! They tempted you like a rhino Your bald pate, …Mélange of green hazels Our groceries, You spewed on us A zephyr of honor; You marched, a colossal Bearing both bodies in arms The good, the bad, the ugly; My earth, my mother! Your red card Dethroned the Old Nick He lopped your efforts And called it a mad man’s snack On your beauty he bestowed An utter disdain, My earth, my mother At the heavens’ tears You heaves out you green talents; A shade upon our noggins I am clear in your mind, You silent voice Shall make man melt away As they prepared me To live in a painful pleasure
