We are so innocent you and I
Untouched by the worst of the world.
Give it time—
It will swallow us whole.
Give it hate—
It will devour us.
Give it fear—
We are already gone.
But give it love,
And we will live an eternity.
The World Becomes Her
The world covers her hands—
In splatters of blue and green, red and yellow—
Paints her body with pieces of knowledge like stars in a night sky.
For she is truth and beauty
And lies and greed—gold with envy and naked with purity—
She is the world
And the world becomes her
