Do you see?

The rabbit's
hole!
The chicken's
cages!
The pigeon's
tests!
The rat's
mazes!
The farmer's
crops!
The architect's
buildings!
The city planner's
streets!
The lawyer's
laws!
The Doctor's
Drugs!
Do you need more?
Do you see?
the
MOUNTAINS
MADE
out of
MOLE hills.
Life loses
meaning for me,
living in a city
seeing only
a few stars,
Orion brings comfort,
WEARING his
WRESTLING
CHAMPIONSHIP
BELT
but
only seeing
(Peepers)
the nose
(A CHOOO)
of his companion
Sirius/Serious
the
eastern star?
the
Dog Star...
the
Wishing star:

Ignorance
was
never bliss
Wisdom
seems
worthless
A
Fool's
Folly
is
Fun,
not really,
just
trying to find
ignorance
is bliss
again.

We look
at our feet,
the closet
full of shoes,
the callouses
on our souls,
I am happy,
you are sad,
I am sad,
you are happy,
I find happiness
I find joy
I find laughter
Daily
I am
delighted
by
sunrise
sunset
moonrise
moonset
the
parade
of
planets
Venus and Mercury
sometimes
Mars
and
the different
shades of blue
but
still
I will mourn,
because
this is not the
kingdom of heaven
Christ
promised
to
me
and
you.
Do you see?
I see Satan's villages
bye bye
mom and pop
shop
here is the
one stop shop
but
people
have
seen this
done and done
again and before,
tailors
turned
to factories
in the
industrial age
women and children
working like slaves,
and there is nothing
we can do.
HERE today,
GONE tomorrow,
HERE tomorrow,
or
next door:
today and tomorrow.
Do you see?

because

I know:
IT IS
the
HOLY SPIRIT
that
is
carrying
us
through
YESTERDAY
TODAY
and
TOMORROW.
