there is a great intensity in the cosmos
sometime when I think
about it all
an unfamiliar song
begins within my heart
if I were a religious-minded man
I would send for
karma and meditate within its glow
bringing into play varieties of nuance
which can give
way to a fiery, lustful dance
bringing me into total awareness
this cosmos dance
as old as time immortal
dance steps
are built subconsciously
within my psyche
has been there throughout history
even witchery has evolved
within a mystery
of a fiery stimulation
water arrives to permit a cooling off
allowing my spirit
to be born
from the energy of the universe
yes, we are its creation
we are called creatures of the earth
and we are not alone
there are more “creatures”
out there
some light years
more brilliant than we
some sub-years behind us

who we are is an insignificant infinitesimal dot out there floating in space - a thought-provoking piece this is, Jerry

... and we, humanity, will never catch up while the almighty dollar remains the focus of not the individual, but society as a whole.  Oil companies alone hinder so many scientific breakthroughs or buy the patents out on cleaner burning, more efficient fueling methods every day.  

Medical and pharmaceutical fields are no better.  Why cure us, when we can just keep you medicated for the duration of your life.

Sorry... didn't mean to rant you.  Good piece, Jer.  Quite provoking.

Michael
