All of the Obvious

by Paul Hall, 26th of April, 1986, Mt. Isa, Australia.

 

Out from under the earthen ground

the tender plants they grow,

to greet the world with radiance

where blossoms they do flow.

And cast their petals into the wind

when Autumn's cold appears.

And thus they form into the seeds

from which new plants will grow.

 

With purpose and with harmony

the natural life does flow

and deep within his inner life

the natural man must go.

We see all of the obvious

yet how can one conceive

the tragic and destructiveness

of all man's bitter greed?

 

Man clothes himself in opulence

yet he forgets to live

and starves his soul to pittance

that he forgets to give.

And finally in the annulled time

when deadly strictures throw,

his shriveled soul must face the rod

with nowhere else to go.

 

We see all of the obvious

yet how can one conceive

the tragic and destructiveness

of all man's bitter greed?
