Some know

Ecclesiastes 11:4 

He who observes the wind will not sow,
And he who regards the clouds will not reap.

 

Careless in the summer … Icy in the winter

Hearts of stone won’t notice any change in time

“Life” can be a bummer… or a simple reminder

for the lonely traveler on his way through rhyme

 

Refreshed in the springtime … shrinking in the fall

Energy mostly wasted in the search of self-satisfaction

Things could have been fine for the “lively” after all

as this is set aside for those who bypass distractions

 

Wandering in the desert … searching for Living Water

Desperation growing as they are drying out to the bone

Surrounded by elevated perverts who don’t even bother

to find out where they’re going with there hearts of stone

 

The sky a cool blue purity … the ground grey and dead

A contrast to the eyes for the ones who hunger

Where is the minority … when all in truth is said

as they’re just getting by … reaping getting stronger?

 

Lovers of the land … blinded by unselfishness

Please stay asleep in this wonderful dimension

Grasp with both hands this pure loveliness

and place it in the deep of soul’s comprehension
