Once Upon a Time

There once was a world

So green and blue

With skies of clarity

Beneath them which

All breath of life

Was shared in harmony

Each blade of grass

Fought not for land

To own as property

Each creature knew

Not of to want,

To take, or gluttony

Without language,

Paper, or pen

They signed the peace treaty

Without a war drum's

Orchestra

It still composed its symphony

No anthems, flags

Or border walls

Need signify such unity

No laws, or kings

Or governments

Controlled Nature's democracy

Until the day

These mortal hands

Picked fruits of its divinity

And biting down

They tasted only

Serpentine theology
