    The Ether That Binds

    An ever present feeling of waiting is my center
    It pulls me like the ubiquitious power
    of the moon
    on the tide
    It lures me as the sweet smell of necter
    calls the hummingbird
    I am the hummingbird
    moving ceaselessly, yet remaining still
    hovering....where's the necter?
    I live in a world of plastic flowers
    and false moons
    A cookie cutter nightmare
    A lemming parade
    Mankind tripped, now we're falling into the future
    Grabbing at the coat tails of our Gods and Idols
    As they stand cold and removed, backs turned
    Having become sterile and impotent
    By the incisions and dissections of science
    Time is a commodity
    Some have too much
    Some not enough
    Spend it, save it, make it, buy it
    but use it wisely
    because it's running out

    The poem is one of the most powerful I've ever heard. It signifies the decay of humanity as we pull ourselves ever deeper, always thinking we're scrambling up, but forever slipping downward. Even our protectors turn away in disgust at the corruption in our lives.
    --Andy

    The poem describes feelings I know intimately. I wonder though sometimes if time is running out or if we just feel that it is or are led to feel that it is. "'When' time is a commodity."
