LINES IN THE DIRT
"I am the king of the castle and you're the dirty rascal"
----The cry of childhood vain desires and losses ring anew
As new drawn lines in dirt of life and bureaucratic hassle
Cause stabbing pain and anger reign ---- joys reducing few
Designed to be so many in God's Earth
Nature's bounty captured by the childish heart grown cold
Compassion set in numbers like a jelly; rigid---- old
Not fit for eating any more---- as if no stone had rolled
Away to release Love into the World---- who made so bold
As to claim adult should be Child in Innocence
Childhood's rotting dreams and games---- attempt to capture life
Simple lines in dust and dirt to capture all high ground
Of human's worldly need---- and set the seed of strife that's rife
To destroy the simple pleasures of a Life there always to be found
Within a World of plenty for us all
Whose are these lines in dirt?---- grown up from blatant seed
Of Presumption and Avarice to capture all the source of Need
Of others who allow the game to grow like some great weed
Restricting Life and Hope in us; tied to breaths through Reed
Poked into Eden's lifeblood?
Oil and sugar, foodstuffs too, captive routes and media blue
Tell the world that lucky few presume the right to all God's might
Of Creativity and Life itself; single channel all the hue
Of lines drawn in the dirt and never mind the hurt, but then the sight
Of Risen Lord might change the role of Servant and of King
The Medium is the Message and Money is the King
POUND and DOLLAR, YEN and MARK conspire to make us sing
"We accept these lines you draw in dust, we do not hear the Ring
We play the Game; we too want fame; to be the same, more joy to bring"----
The Silence speaks the lie, as Love stands tall---- in counteraction of Man's Fall
