PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

...and aren't we all, in some, at least, small way?

Some,

so much more than others.

It's in our destructive nature

to step away from what we should nurture-

For Mother Nature's bosom

is only so vast

and could use some assistance.

Humanity is certainly

suckling dry

her life-giving sustenance.

Leaving her wrinkle-sagged

and barren of her babes

lost in these clearcut woods.

As we turn blind eyes

And deaf ears

To the blind, the deaf,

as we hurtle over the lame,

to get our better place in line,

are we now no better

than those we have judged?

Are we so robotic and quixotic

to the point of our failure to see

that in the changing of time

we are becoming more and more

-conditioned,

by the human condition?
