Selections from the Poetry of Georg Feuerstein

The Body

I call this body my own.
Yet, how human can it be 
       when trillions of microbes 
       make it their home?
It is better to view it 
       as a meeting ground 
       for diverse forms of life
       wanting to survive.
Why then all these proprietary feelings?
Who owns the Moon, the Sun, this Earth?
