So many bones I hear the dry winds, as they play them, like a flute So many bones What will you do when the trees are gone ? Will you cover yourself with money ? Will money protect you from the strong winds and the dust ? Will it shield you from Father Sun's fury? What will you do when the Oceans are dead, and each new days dew is poison ? Will you squeeze your coins, for a drop of water upon your tongue ? What will you do when Great Mother no longer feeds you ? Can you eat your money, like cabbage ? So many bones I hear the dry winds, as they play them, like a flute So many bones It is Creator's courting song. Creator's song to Great Mother I do not know what you will do But I know Great Mother She will be as beautiful as she was on the first day with so many bones to feed her. *** |

Self destruction does seem to be an inherent trait of our's. A haunting write. |

Powerful write, Larry. I think it was Gandhi who said, "Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need but not every man's greed." Ida |

Good to see you back here. I don't think there'll be any of us left so ... problem solved. Enjoyed your ponderings. |

Larry, you strike a nerve with your questions. Makes me glad to think that our mark won't be lasting. A |
