Children With Sparkling Eyes

The next time we get together to cry
about how flowers wither in hot sun,
Tellus will bring glass jar of demon tears
to nurture souls of angels in small seeds
who grow into children with sparkling eyes
before bullets splatter their souls on grass.

Careful analysis of water flow,
within context of material exchange,
proves why excessive passion of desire
cracks concrete channels of clandestine code
that redesigns children with sparkling eyes
who play hide and seek in ruins of church.

Reverse psychology of social laws
never works to change behavior with fear,
relabeled as incentive to mature
against relentless tides of profit gains
that tricks hearts of children with sparkling eyes
to believe in lie of the Afterlife.

Elected by the people of her state
to establish affordable health care,
Tellus drives to work across Bridge of Faith
till assassins give her apples to eat
so she can feed children with sparkling eyes
who play in rubble of their bombed-out homes.

Clipboard in hand as wind blows her charged hair,
Tellus organizes fairies and ghosts
to stack bricks of bombed buildings on wood carts
so they can rebuild empire of dead gods
reborn as our children with sparkling eyes
who pretend they are puppets without strings.

Amazed at beauty of our broken world
that functions on laughter of hungry hope,
Tellus writes complex formulas of fate
on chalkboard in crowded college classroom
to educate children with sparkling eyes
on using magic to build paradise.

When Neptune wakes from dream in fountain pool,
startling tourists in the large Florence square,
Tellus gives him jeans and white shirt to wear
as they stroll holding hands in evening glow
to photograph children with sparkling eyes
who are old gods reborn in human flesh.

Concerned about current state of the world,
when dictators disguised as presidents
contest over whose God will rule the Earth,
Tellus meditates with Shiva in cave
visited by children with sparkling eyes
through revolution of the working class.

Orpheus gathers children with sparkling eyes in stadium where he gives each one their unique spirit name so they can fly among stars of illusions.
