THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD
Under the weight of
Human imperfection,
The world is perfect
It keeps spinning – faster in hopes of
Shaking itself free
Of our dreams and wants,
Violent footprints of darkness
Refusal to satisfy
A world where peace has not a
Prayer
Unless as heat
That leaks from the sky
Mournful, fiery tears
Burning in our ignorance
As we race blindly
Beyond the trees
Perfect with rings
Barking our history
Trumpeting our future
