Whats the purpose of dirt?

no one really sees it

has no nutritive value

it doesnt fall into too many obvious catagories for a scientist

it seems to be every where

and not very interesting

  In  fact dirt is totally ignored

  and is so common if there were anything to learn from it's

 vast abundance

   it has not painted an interesting enough picture

to draw much attention

 

The opaque building in the distance

  bears a creative color

  an obvious manner

in its' lights

shoning the nite

projecting in the day light

 

 Inside daylights

are dark at night

night lights are light in the day

and bright at night

and a bank building

a rue a million

on nth street

at the club Bullion

they dance

and dine

 

Has nothing less to see

and a whole lot more to pass

or visit

on your travels on the boulevard

 

And what's there more

in abundance

that paves our ways

supports our legs

keeps the lights a high and shining

on the town?

it isn't all the various

and interesting unnoticed multitudes

of people we see around

 

it's multitudes of dirt

makes the hills we tred

holds the roads we ride

fills the fields that bear all of our fruits

and dirt

 

..it is so ubiquitious and inert

whereas the gerand 'and'  in a dictionary

may occupy an entire page

conjugate with many examples of it usage

 a defintion for dirt may not be

 but a brief description

 of what fills in and occupies the in betweens

of the trees and animal life

with very little space applied

for a role of dirt in either the dictionary

or in our existance

 

even water

H2O

is given a royal place

and a sacred role with in the catagories

and language listings

 

And dirt is hardly ever spoken of

but by

Hiway engineers and architects and farmers

   hardly noticed even once or less

    by a doctor scientist

    teacher

or ordinary

common types of people

as topic

or even in their personal conversation

or endeavored world personalizations

 

That a curious and open investigator

on the nature and epistemology

of the matter and world

surely could notice

with the constructions


theories

and elementary queries

of mankind

an obvious void

    a major unconsidered

     consciously unperceived

         factor

had escaped attention and focus

 

As a whole place put forth mainly with dirt

  keeps most the places and holes

    that fill all of space

    and must not only be a vital part 

      but a breathing example of all the forgotten

        sublimations

           glue together existance

Politicians spills dirts all around us with their lies. The only ones who can probably dance to their tunes are the bankers who reaps more than they should from the working poor.
