rivers of red cobwebs

armenia, chechenya,
occupied palestine
occupied pakistan and
preoccupied God
innocence, innocents
in silence suffer

ëi want herí
ëno, not herí
first red rain erupted
first murder, second injustice
was it love or ego?
certainly it wasnít land

the second red shower
was over land
ownership akin to being god
(not godly or god-like)

men multiplied without growing
meanwhile, God lost interest
and stopped making more land
what Man did not have he acquired
through deceit and perennial red rain

messengers brought messages
Man ignored and showered red
land forever thirsty, willingly absorbed

ëme, mine, myí
God had stoppedÖ

God is a distant memory
men in image of god, wannabee god
new captains of land-ships
thirsty, greedy, less godly

new gods from new land
eye distant gods of old
red will flow yet again
back-room gods have ordained
they need this and that parcel
what is a million or two
throbbing hearts
at the exchange altar?

cobwebs
of rivers of red
map innocent eyes
