Auguries of Humanity

[Styled after William Blake's  "Auguries of Innocence."]

To see sand in the grain of sand’s canyon
And waves of light blossom like a flower,
To make infinity your companion
After meditating for an hour.

The dog treated better than a poor boy
Predicts whose riches are one day destroyed.
All the leftovers that are thrown away
Makes Heaven hate the American way.
The obese man’s third soda pop refill
Does the old diabetic’s prescription fill.
The marijuana smoke that fills the room
Clouds the people’s judgment, leading to doom.

The aborted baby’s poor panicked cries
Float in night dreams and behind human eyes.
The almost pornographic billboard sign
Drives people for dirty pleasures to pine.
The philandering man’s night escapades
Gives pedophiles their rational aid.
Perversions that blaspheme man’s sacred form
Leave no real human standard as the norm.

The cynic annoyed by Gods and Heaven
Adds salt and spice to hide conceit within.
Cynical scientists form collegiate broods
Flavor students’ and politicians’ food.
Politicians who find it so tasty
Promote it with excess bureaucracy.
Students fat with cynical thoughts and dreams
Form lazy, reckless, and misguided teams.

The “smart” politician who wants to win
Looks the other way on China’s dark sins.
The investor in China thirsts for cash
And gets it! But will watch his market crash.
The “Made in China” doll that breaks in two
Used peaceful dissidents’ blood as its glue.
The Falun Gong student now tortured dead
Unveils the diseased whore the world has wed.

We dwell in the darkest depths of cold night,
Most forgetting the pure warmth of daylight.
When it's darkest, dawn comes without delay
For this world's ruled by noble realms of day.
