The Elements

See them sitting underneath the tree, they are on a mission to crucify thee, their knife is sharpened and ready to cut out a pound of your flesh from your gut if you do not pay back the debts, no excuse about your stranded ship at sea will be enough to satisfy thee. You will need a miracle for sure when the devil come knocking at the door. Everyone is fully grounded in their elements, and they are on a journey to heaven; their clothes are neat, their passion is deep, and their shining shoes is glistening on their feet, they originate from the ages with all type of strange faces, and they never take their eyes off thee, their only intention is to destroy thee, and to start another war. There is an element on every corner, and you have hold on to winter and let spring leads you straight to the “gym” and sweat out the age-old sin. They walk about with the signal of death on their lips and laugh at you with their rancid breath and strange kiss, and if you are not strong, they will overpower you and their demon will start affecting you. Just look for the elements in the breeze, it will come striking at you, helium, lithium, or Beryllium? Something is in the air, and you have got to prepare. The elements are moving around the earth and my nostrils are clogged up with dirt, I need a vacuum cleaner to pull it out before I can land on the earth, I have been orbiting the galaxy looking at the deprived cities, the mischief of man has destroyed the land, and you have to do something about this appalling conditions. The grass has grown high in the field and orchards and roadways are not clean; there is vine running everywhere and thorn and thistles cover the grapes in the bushes. The men are idling in the streets and theft has taken over the cities and the scavenger have scattered the garbage in the street. As I glide through sky tears fell out my eyes; mankind in pursuit of his own ambition has inconvenient everyone, you must get up and give a helping hand. Protons and neutrons are moving on the clouds and displaced atoms are running about you have to contain them before you shout. Spring is here and the mountains have much to share so pack your bags and get ready to journey with me to accomplish the next phase of my destiny. Get a comfortable pair of walking shoe, climbing equipment and camping material and things that are needed for the journey, it is the best time to make a move and it is the best time to choose, the cherry blossom is opening, and the elements are shifting, come and meet me here and we will pack our bags and go there. Spring is here!
