Viii: the Silence

Dearest Vicar –
Another priest took his lyre
Whispering his parable:
“The reward’s in heaven
Let nature mourn on Earth
Earth weeps in silence 
Let’s celebrate with her!”

Darest V.C. –
Did joy hasten to heaven 
Because you carved for honour?
How did you attain your selfish
Dignity that silences our Earth?
The kids have grown used to big words
The big words of your ready rhetorics;

Then a priest sang 
“We are the Earth
We shall celebrate in silence
Like a broken pot 
We are waiting in patience
The potter may come 
Mother Earth may come.”
