laws

Moral Majority, law and order,

appealing to people’s vanity and fear

 

 

So men who can only procreate through rape

legislate to keep their DNA in play

 

 

Everywhere, signs

Everywhere, sadness rippling,

funereal blues, drumming

ever slower, ebbing

connection, ebbing time.

 

Everywhere, shrinking, dying.

Everywhere, depleting, engulfed

by agony, bleeding out.

 

Can you, will you, sing into

endless night, tell me a story

of survival

of happy children at play in concert

with verdant Earth?

 

 

could we mitigate ocean heat

using it for energy?
