Tip the Scale {5 of 5}

Caterpillar; A War Cry {5 of 5}

{i.e. get the caterpillars out of
Palestine,
out of Canada,
unless you are building together
a garden where the only accidental casualties are
caterpillars eating your cilantro.
We will together dance on their graves,
and harvest life
on their burial site.}

Silly poem:
   A war cry...

...Heaven is almost gone.

Grrrr... the Caterpillar
    grinds:
    built for mass destruction,
    a weapon well certified with a license -
    “safety first”
    their trainers will say -
    in order to
    to kill at will, and
    harvest life
    from a burial site.

"Is the road to heaven really paved with hell?"

Paving a road
    over a graveyard... 
    The souls
    of these children 
    {casualties of war} are
    stifled, unable to
    sprout up and bring
    life from death...
    Souls stifled
    in life, and 
    in death...
But of course, 
    their sins
    are revealed by the 
    impure skin 
    of their kin.
    Their sins 
    are sealed by the
    white man's skin
    tarred over the earth:
    a black, hard, lifeless, road.
The road 
    to heaven paved with 
    blackened gold...
    hell on earth.
    The converted 
    children's muffled cries
    scream beneath the green, beneath the black,   
    "Is the road to heaven really paved with hell?"
No life
    harvested from this 
    burial site.
    The converted
    consumers ask politely,
    "Caterpillar, please pave over the casualties,
    for the road to gold is paved... 
    thank goodness they were saved."

"Is the road to heaven really paved with hell?"

To destroy or not
    is not the question,
    but how much?
Do a jig
    for the soul
    of cilantro;
A rain dance with
    prayers to produce
    much more than what was taken
    by the killer in the mirror;
A sun dance for 
    silly poems
    to no longer be
    destroyed by seriousness;
A brave dance for 
    Caterpillars
    to be released from 
    captivity, and allowed 
    to blossom, 
    to beautify, and 
    to bring life 
    from this burial site.

"Is the road to heaven really paved with hell?"

Heaven is almost gone.
