Consider your wise man who says,
"Look upon the tree, does it live
Off of the deaths of any other?
So, too, must you live your own life."
Such wisdom is such foolishness:
All life continues if the sun
Continues on its path to death.
Birth belongs in death's love-embrace--
Parents die so their child may live--
Antelope die in lions' jaws--
Leaves are ground in antelopes' teeth.
Humans, the most alive of all
All the more require the deaths
Of others as a sacrifice--
The simple making more complex
Human thought and life possible.
The foolish haters of all life
Reject change, embrace death
That makes the more turn into less.
Unchanging nature is this death--
Humans made into animals,
Animals made mere chemicals,
Chemicals made into atoms,
Atoms made into energy,
And all of this aline, mere death--
This is the image of evil;
Creative growth is that of good
And why God sees it all as such--
As beautiful and just and true.
