NEW EARTH RISING
Erle Frayne Argonza y Delago
My old sociology notes
have taught me well
Old worlds do pass to give
way to new realms
Barely passing away the
old world’s womb a-bear
The new world birthing so
fresh as a babe
Likewise did I digest the
lessons high
From mystic science come
forth parallel notes
Of
how a planet might be crashed to lows
Till density reached
scratch bottom as we are
And then by deeds of
benign divinities
Send forth multiple
Buddhas gurus saints
Same planet finally moves
up back to higher climes
A-born the old world
perishes to oblivion’s cask
Fulfilled in tasks the
starry souls do now proclaim
The old Earth dies so soon
to make its claim
In history writ ‘tis done
its role so clear
To give way now to new
Earth arising near
Shaken off Earth’s back as
lands recast
Turbulent waters washing
dirt of older mast
Till past catastrophe as
any newborn babe a-pass
The new Earth to nourish new
races en masse
As new humanity unveils
the virtues o’ jewels
Shall birds and mammals be
more tame like sibs
No more will foul zoology
nor vegetation be
As all of life forms croon
blend in harmony
Arise! New Earth! Go forth
to claim your place
In cosmic history seat in
Halls of Grandeur
Happy will be Almighty One
at last for thy ascent
That lower worlds shall
later emulate with honor
