Poem: Global Warming

 

Global Warming

 

merciless sun, it curdles voices

before they can utter the first breath of a phrase.

 

no words of truth, all but forgotten, 

replaced by joints of ants

which swell dutiful and aching

over sands that eat them as they erode.

 

lies and lies and lies 

in lines and lines and lines

march through eyes and brains and breaths--

to follow all the other busy lines of lies,

which have burned themselves out

in the red chew of destiny.


they who serve the most know the least,

and in the duty and drone of their obeisance,

never see their 'Higher Purpose'

fry the wings off its creations.
