KALI



Once upon a time the world became overpopulated by demons.
They filled the world with their copious greed,
and reproduced themselves endlessly.
They had become, in other words,

full of themselves.

They consumed the light of day, they soiled the air
they ate the trees, they swallowed the waters
they devoured the lands with their insatiable greed


Until there were no more things of beauty made,
or new dreams dreamed, or children born.


The unborn ones called to me
The ones yet to come.

The time had come
to say Enough.
And No More.


I, I am the Goddess of No More


I, I am the shadow of all those
who cannot remember

how to say enough
and No More

I, I am the Mother
of those
who are yet to come


Jai Ma

This poem makes me feel guilty for being human, and I'm not sure I like that feeling.

We humans are such a strange mix of good and evil. We can do so much good and so much harm.
