By Michael Theroux
In our food, in our bodies our clothes, our buildings in the Air, Water, Earth all come from the Fire We unmake our home and make the Machine and making, create this deadly residue Splinters so fine no needle will serve in competent hands to come to the rescue What have we done we’ve planted a seed so very deep inside magic beans, indeed To the last grain I’ll sift the sands and chase the curse Blessings of our Age For given the gold we have bought pain and carry, each our body burdens These are the teeth and claws of the Beast that which we ride has turned upon us To the last grain sifting through our hands winnow the balm of life from the carnage of living
