nemesis

to see earth naked at dawn,
to hear the wild geese lune
gaia rules earth & heavens,
now must be another time.

once her throne had been
overthrown by the heavens,
the heavens then warred on
against each other alone.

our paper boats afloat jade,
our now informed words fade,
we tilth earth as slaves paid
for our taskmaster´s parade.

still the crowd roars blood,
its gory lust never is sated
nor sates their god created,
there´s the rub, sod & cud.

out there, a world of fears,
tormented laminated tears
wrought of tyrant authority,
a masque knows its enemy.

thus is the multitude to be fed,
each closed & sealed as dead
in a necropolis of necromania,
nemesis on the tomb of gaia.
