Tectonics
I feel the colliding plates
Force of nature
Tectonics of ideology crashing, grinding
Jostling, cracking,
Groaning, shattering
Eons of tension and stress
Hatred of OTHER, fueled, fed
Stoked by corporate greed and power
Tectonics shifting the landscape
Morphing, changing,
Releasing, upheaval
Mountains building, mountains succumbing
Subduction, dismantling rock
Melting, reconfiguring
Ruptures and fissures
Patriarch and Matriarchy
Conservative and Progressive
Fascist and Democracy
Rumbling, swaying, teetering
Everything shakes in the waves
Quakes in the onslaught
We lose our balance, fail, crumble
Storied illusion shatters at the feet of possibility
Pinnacles of perceived progress crash
Opulent consumption hollow in the accumulating human tragedy
New landmasses taking form
New valleys, canyons, beaches, vistas emerge
In the rubble, seeds of the future are nurtured in rich volcanic soil
Small shoots of growth reach for the light
Roots grow deep, nourished of pure clean rain
Mycelium extends tentacles of connectivity
A community is birthed and thrives
To nurture
To dream
