Sense Sonnet - Acher

 A Turtle Failure

Some say the earth is on the back

Of a giant turtle to go

Through space and time on cosmic track

Till inner peace all earthlings know.

And so evolves the humankind.

Science and religion both be

Abused to twist the human mind

To trip too much too selfishly.

The giant turtle had to tell

Fellow reptile aliens that

Carrying this world became hell,

With earth a worthless habitat.

This turtle's telling earth above,

Too weighted down by hate, not love.
