(or) Verse, Organic and Inorganic

Kick Back The Ladder

You who came before us
who rest upon your laurels
in gilded warm nests
no cares for your weary brow

What have you then left us?
war and desperation
poverty, greed and famine
great cathedral of the holy self

We who came thereafter
crawl in the dirt of our fathers
no shelter or assurance
you look down on us and sigh

We who labour for your harvest
toil beneath your avarice
and each time we near the altar
you close the temple door

Kick the ladder out from under you

Better Skies

Maybe somewhere there are better skies for us

Room to spread our wings and a fairer air

Sweet cool breeze and smell of the ocean

Broad horizons and endless summer nights

Sleeping under a billion pinpoints of light
