Immortality

Banished from Earth, death had been

For centuries, none had ventured to go

Not a soul to heaven

Not a spirit to rise

Until one day, Mother Earth cried

"California to sea,

Japan must quake.

God wants new company

And shall have it today."

Comparisons

How crude glasses are to eyes

And hearing aids to ears

Laxatives to intestines

Shoes to feet

Clothes to skin

Speech to thought

Culture to nature.
