Whitewater
09:15

While we are away
Our home, on fire
Vast tracts of fuel
Aflame
For months
Thin casts
Of ash
Burn
Like shame
Like whitewater
Smoke roils, curling
On and on
Droplets, embers
Waves of coals
Coat the lungs
Prick the eyes
Without cease
No relent
Until all is blackened, drowned
Until all is black and drowned

Ceaseless
08:51
|

Light radiates
Time evaporates
This hunching sickness carried always
Thought dissipates
We incarcerate;
Poison carried in the purse
Recording always:
Our bodies, our fantasies
Our worries, medical concerns
Ceaselessly repeating:
Our habits, our families
Our dreams, laid bare
Out for sale
Ceaseless and surveilled

Divide
08:00
|
|||
A disconnect so clean
Safe there in the embrace
Of wealth so complete
Content, we live like this
The white of your eyes and the white of your neck
I feel such disgust
Mouth breather, bottom feeder, DIVIDE
Credit dealer, profit stealer, DIVIDE
Of course it comes to this
The red of your eyes and the red of your neck
I feel such disgust
Helpless
Our hands stay unextended
My sneer
My dignity
Our... DIVIDE

Production / destruction
to a colossal extent.
Turbulent growth
foreshadows collapse.
Our climate is changing,
our forests are shrinking.
Tenfold the damage,
in just fifty years.
It's all been intoned before
In history the sentiment repeated again and again.
Wealth. Progress. Greed.
Trumps the future needs of earth, and man.
Two rampant centuries unchecked.
Now, is there hope for transformation?
From the top down they fleece
While glowing screens hold all attention.

Yearn
05:55
|
|||
Blades turn, stomach churns.
Money earned, no concern.
Filthy hands and blackened skies.
Vacant stares through dollar-sign eyes.
Millions scream through poisoned lungs.
We yearn, they burn.
