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
