Eventually, Earth rebelled. Ah! How quickly I became we, and then wee, Conscious of our inconsequence, Too late to save the billions of lives Leveraged by civilization. Selves, attempting desperately to return to spirits, Pounded on locked doors, not knowing how to get in. Too late to learn a lifetime of disciplines, mysteries, rituals, Of ways of living, loving, speaking, thinking, perceiving; Too late to become a child again and be nurtured in humility and awe; Too late to learn that freedom leads to slavery, While servitude leads to different kinds of freedom.
