In Which I Watch Man Destroy, Destroy And Destroy And Destroy…
My days lay flat behind me
And so to before me
My mind a mush
Twas this morn I woke as such.
So what to do?
While prospects nudge
Mine are unseeing eyes
Mine are unmoving limbs
I sit as tho paralyzed
And what to do?
Am I wood like you?
Am I but a piece of ash?
Waiting…
Waiting…
For wave of a magic wand
For a puff from a Jeanie bottle
For a wish come true
What to do?
And the oil is gushing
Vomiting in our ocean
Puking into our Mother earth
A terminal man made cancer
What have we done??
I am sorry, Hitty.
Your poem is powerful and the photo says it all...it makes me pause for a quiet poignant moment in my day.
ReplyDeleteYour photo perfectly matches the tone of your poem. Nicely done, mom.
