Short Disassociated Poems

My hearts beats

disassociated pieces
in a fugue

We're a suffering EarthTribe
and the longer we live
naturally and spiritually disassociated,
the more painfully Earth degenerates.

It was a forested world
with wealthy oceans,
and the longer we potentially lived,
the more healthy reforested Earth would get....
