Gaia Poem by Barry Middleton
Gaia
had I just one dream
a final wish would be
that I could dream again
that I could hope again
perhaps it is the times
claiming we are stalled
plainly evolution ceased
man is a hissing reptile
rapacity of raptors hunt
to slash and kill and take
by the venom of deceit
or mighty brutish force
I see the dividing blue
and know its indifference
beyond a black emptiness
the stars of hungry worlds
had I just one dream
a final wish would be
that I could dream again
that I could hope again
to walk upright anew
no slithering for greed
the world in brotherhood
justice defeating tyranny
the planet would find peace
equality in one human race
male and female as peers
their god of nurture Gaia
rational cooperation
and cerebral compassion
become a global strategy
connection to one family
had I just one dream
a final wish would be
that I could dream again
that I could hope again
all evil kings must die
no crown upon their head
feminine dominion rules
in birth and gifts of care
all evil gods must die
no tithe collected
to buy ruthless power
for perverted elders
and with their passing
humanity shall cultivate
a New Garden of Eden
cherishing Earth's gifts
I wonder whether the word Gaia were addopted too in english vocabulary or you found it your self and addopted it, I'll look up a lexikon.
English adopted the names of many Greek and Roman gods. I like to blend ancient mythology with modern or Christian mythology sometimes. Gaia is the mother of everything as was Eden. To me Gaia represents earth in it's primal and pristine state.

Barry, I wish I'd written this. Everything you say so eloquently, I feel too. Especially Gaia. Glad I saw this but might be on wrong poem! Pam Sinicrope referred me to yours re Garden of Eden. could you redirect me. You've a lot of pages and I'm a lazy so and so. I'd love to read it though! Tom Billsborough
Tom, you will have to message Pam. I have written so many poems referencing Eden that I have forgotten most of them. Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you like Gaia.
