Continental Drift
All so quiet, all so calm
When avoiding risk of harm.
What a sorry waste of breath
Living life as cold as death.
You and I are so alike
Waiting round for luck to strike.
Let's go grab it by the nuts
Show the world that we've got guts
Take a chance, no ifs, no buts.
Why resist our merging fates?
Shifting like tectonic plates
On a slow and steady course,
Powerful destructive force;
Smash the earth then set it new.
One new land where once was two.
All around, Apocalypse -
Worth it though, to grab your hips,
Drag you close and kiss your lips.
Let the world go up in flame!
Life is short so give your name,
Give your power, give your trust,
Yield to unencumbered lust;
Take from me the same and more.
Caged hearts sink, but free we'll soar,
Playful playmates evermore.

Another poem in anacreontics. A more traditional, serious take on the Epicurean themes than the previous.
