![]() Who killed the Spirit of our Earth?A Poem by Jeremy BakerThe Spirit of our Earth is weeping, sleeping, comatose, non mentos compos.
A sinuous, sensuous, tenuous grasp is all that remains; fabricated mankind, vapourific spirituality, flabbergasted at the amusing notion that some things exist that can be neither bought nor sold.
Delicate strength opposes powerful weakness.
Corruption, a staple of capitalist consumption, like dying varec in various oceans; its stink is long lingering. We are as voyeurs, watching the peepshow of our world meeting its demise.
