WHO ANGERED THE HEAVENS

in #poetry7 years ago

Who angered the heavens?
Can’t you see?
Sun’s eye is dim
His broad smile is gone

Who angered the heavens?
Can’t you hear?
The thunderous voice above you
The groaning and rumbling too
That makes the ground shift beneath you
And sinks your heart in fear

Who angered the heavens?
Can’t you smell?
His perfume
In these winds as cold as death

Who angered the heavens?
Can’t you feel?
His tears
Trying to rob me of shelter
And wash me off the face of the earth

Who angered the heavens?
Let us find him
For this crime is great
The greatest crime it is
Cos it threatens my existence
And blows out my candle of survival

Here we are,
At the shrine of the great goddess
Her name?
Nature
She has spoken thus:
“Thou O man
Art the cause of thy problem
Thou art the Curse of Creation
The heavens are angry
Cos I have bid it so
For thou took my laws and ways
And trod them under feet. “
