RIGOR MORTIS

In humanity's heartbeat

Is the rigor mortis of greed

Spewing coins of survival

With hope on the obverse

Despair on the reverse!

 

All isn't well!

 

There's the beggar

The pauper

The afflicted

The helpless

And the desperate!

 

All ain't well!

 

And there's also the bridge-toll

Between God and us!

 

In humanity's heartbeat

Is also the alchemy of good

Overcoming evil

And the stratosphere of hope

Disbanding despair!
