THE BOOK OF EARTH.
(Written in 1986 in Brisbane, Australia.)
The temperance of eloquence
will not efface the place
Where tragic marked it's epilogue
upon the human race;
Where men began to make amends
with talk of greater truths
than all that once was talked about
by academic youths.
Yet business was less tendered
by military might
When men led out their feudal lives
and there was less to fight
Upon a stage of tragedy;
Where evermore is writ
The book of sad Earth's failure,
In blood and dust and grit.
And no more mere verbosity
Can fill man's yawning shame,
As on into eternity
beyond all thought of blame
The wise will read and understand
The Book of Earth some day;
Why nothing ever anymore,
could just have it's own way.
