from the shimmering glass galleries, from the crystalline oceans from the bright infinity 

Thou wrought creation itself 

and black did Thou create and white did Thou make anew shining in shimmering contrast alight with darkness shrouded in luminance 

with kaleidoscopic infinities with endless prisms ever expanding  

in the intimacy and beauty of Your canvas 

outward we danced in Your brilliant light 

i stood tall 

i stood loud 

i sung of reverence 

i sung of gratitude 

but then cometh man crudeclay 

rock and heat and steam mud 

filth meat writhing, scratching, writhing scratching, writhing, scratching 

meat 

why? why meat? why? why make meat free? 

but not I?
