[Dialogue] Good Friday-Earth Day/Easter: "Relentless Is Creation's Via Dolorosa"

RELENTLESS IS CREATION’S VIA DOLOROSA
 
Relentless is Creation’s Via Dolorosa—
choosing each millisecond
along its ever expanding Tree-of-Life journey—
emerging, purging, resurging,
fragile resilience ever setting Being’s face
toward new Jerusalems:
galaxies swirling, atoms whirling, comets hurling,
creatures toiling, humans turmoiling and gargoyling.
 
Relentless is Creation’s Via Dolorosa
to temples of grandeur,
upsetting tables of the greedy,
setting up banquets with the needy,
mocked, bound, beaten, crowned with corporate logos
by those who wash their hands politely, litigiously
while
Pachamama’s precious vitality—
sapped, tapped, stretched, plundered—
pours black blood and fool’s gold,
its seamless garment stripped, folded, and gambled for spoils,
its parched sighs ignored
while 
skies blacken, mountains shake, winds choke,
seas roar, and fires scorch.
 
Relentless is the Cry of Creation’s Via Dolorosa—
reverberating, renting asunder the veil of false gods,
comforting earth’s beloved with a nod,
then falling still and silent.
“Entomb it, conquer it, control it, contain it, brand it, market it, use it,”
            thus spaketh self-annointed soothsayers.
 
But,
Creation is still working its purpose out:
cruciformed, transformed, reborn, unbound—
Pachamama resurrected, stigmata in beckoning hands,
still breaking bread with souls whose eyes are now opened
along Creation’s relentless Via Dolorosa.
