Sitting on a bank
Myself & I sinking in a thought
About the grandeurs of the Earth
Like the river Ganga carries away distraught
Everything, including life,
With its cruel waters
Or how the Himalayas
Ready to break through Earth’s rooftop
Time and time and time and time again
Time and time and time and time again
Or had they to collapse, to even sink the world
Into one enormous hole
Sometimes I’d like to be only a soul
Able to move about anywhere
Sometimes, actually, I have……
But I don’t remember anything.

My state of being human
A burden on my disposition!
Anticipating Earth’s supremacy
Overlooking its conversion
Observing mankind that feels
Owner of Earth’s majesty
I am ready to leave anytime and anywhere
I am ready to challenge any mortal earthling
Who feels in a state to claim ownership
Of something way primordial
Sometimes I’d like to be only a soul
Able to move about anywhere
Sometimes, actually, I have……
But I don’t remember anything

This is one of the burdens to be faced
By he who’s
Animal, mineral, and nearly human
My last breath
Will spell me out as a shaman

Under the effect
Of the magic, magic mushrooms
I feel…. I feel…
As I feel
My eyes like the sky
my blood stream as a river
My heart inside the trunk of a big old tree
My soul like the wind
My body like a mountain
My last breath will spell me out as a shaman

The last breath of the shaman
The new breath of your now dead world
