KOYAANISQATSI

There is a digital religion turning quantum-size gears
that’s chewed up the chicken bones and all our fears
An ancient’s purview of our new narcisstic hero

So fear not for he can see you in all your totality

Clever devil, the smartest one in Cornell’s hall
He says sister sky was once inside a little ball
Then BANG! Sincerely, give or take a few billion years

Put him in the cross-hairs of his own perspicacity

See for yourself through his own clever protocol
God is in the machine, and no god but he
Those among us who can’t believe will only ever be

one with the sky or two too many for ones own duality

Koyaanasqaatsi is, frankly, not for me
But take your pick, and sincerely so
Because it’s on sale now, just so you know

                                            Show us who we were when we
                                                  saw the sky bold and blindly
                                                   Show us who we are as we
                                             rape our sister bare and blithely

Author's Note
Koyaanisqatsi, in the Hopi Indian dialiect means, "life out of balance and begging for another".
