@TAB @Meowmy @Bunniekins @Bill16 @Glisten @Oaktree @Appleblossom @Judi9877 @Sophia1 @Shaz51 @Jacques @Gibbs @MissGremlin and all. So hard to make a complete list.
Below is my latest poem. I don't know how I feel about it any more. But time to release it into the wild and move on.
Hope it connects for you; in part at least...
Beyond The Pale
With only one at our disposal
With only one to keep us safe
Surely sense must guide us down
The path toward harmony
As one with our environment
As one with our humanity
What use is profit if we destroy
That which sustains our existence?
Conditioned air inflates our lungs
Temperature is on our whim
Outside, nature is less inclined
To yield to such delusions
Insufficient satisfaction
Stimulates disparity
Forever chasing the impossible
Will we never awaken?
To tolerate our slumber
Is to justify the loss
Of the sheer abundance
Entrusted to our care
Is an epic transformation
Possible at this late stage?
Or are we rather self-condemned
To pale into insignificance?
