From Six Feet Under

From Six Feet Under

A Poem by Arthur Weil

Irritated 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
