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?
