From Six Feet UnderA Poem by Arthur WeilIrritated for trophies and punishment You so vibrant, violet, alive I whisper wearily from six feet under My silent spirit permeates the air “Careful, braggadocio, gluttony must pay the price You human wits " labor laborious Plan, scheme, device Your nest 1000, ten thousand feet big Crammed full of good and gadgets For how long Move to a larger abode than smaller until you lie next to me for all eternity In hush silent spirit
Go while breath and energy at your disposal Plan, fastidiously for good results Soaring success brazen in your fabulous face let vibrant chemical bugs chime love songs and idyllic rendezvous let smiles and laughter overcome your body For you are chosen special For in all of gods creatures, you exceed create, device, adopt More so than all the lions, tigers Chimpanzee and Orangutans My spirit now beneath your skin Inside your head
For good, clear clarity warm your heart Away from the war mongers The non-believers who preach the gospel of power and war Who relish conflict and lap up the remnants of world destruction go back into yourself my spirit urges Patronize your good feelings, nourish well-earned satisfaction, shine, love " love lots and genuine partake in the arts of your society See the world, travel
Soothe the pain " outward and inner for you are human you procreate " but you are momentary " you are temporary and as you daily rise you will fall but never your spirit determinate you have been chosen in this time this place to participate in the greatest theater of life. Go-play your parts and when your time comes your spirit will mesh with mine for eternity And we will blend into the universe in our gaseous form © 2017 Arthur Weil |
