The World Is a Stream

The world is a stream
with many new currents
some flow underground
others evaporate and fly

Human streams come
then disappear at will
bodies under the ground
souls perch on the winds

The source of streams
located in living wombs
has never been blocked
and life torrents flow on

Wild animals, plants, insects
stream from holes of life
bodies flow underground
souls to mystery locations

We need engineer so wise
the one who can build dams
to generate hydroelectricity
from the powerful torrents

Torrents of men, at war
children, women as victims
biological life so scorched
hydroelectricity they give

Savanna and sandy lands
Streams flow, no sage sees
