Global Warming
the merciless sun,
it curdles science before the first breath
of an honest phrase.
no words of fact, all but forgotten,
replaced by the joints of ants
who swell dutiful and aching
over sand that swells to eat them
even as it erodes.
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
burning themselves out
in the red chew of destiny.
they who bow the most know the least,
and in the drone of staid obeisance
never see their 'Higher Purpose'
fry the wings off its creations.
