Loyalty Is Something

Loyalty is something
We all need 
No questions asked, no what ifs 
No
None of that. 

When the world goes
Full round 
It makes sure
All
Is right 
All is above ground. 

That’s when
I see 
My loyalty is to 
The earth
All creatures, all things 
Including me.

You Know

You know the answer
You know what’s sane
You know no one can make
Your life full of pain
The only one who can
Is living there in you
And you must make sure
No one lets it happen
No one
Not even you.
