Abortions
and nursing
home
Tighten
the bell
curve
As
we chop both our age ends
away
Abortions
and nursing
home
Our
futures and our
sages
Seem
to have diminished value
today
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The
future and the past of our lives
matter
less
than
a pace moving fast toward money,
power,
fame
and
sages are seldom
heard
unless
profit is the
word
bottom
line, the P&L, or new God we
name
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caged
within the tunnel of our
vision
From
day to day and by and
by
It
seems that foolish tasks are now
abounding
How
is it that so many find it not
astounding
That
even freedom thoughts can
die?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can
you hear me?
Don't
you care what I've to say?
Can't
you feel
me?
Why
treat me this
way?
Can't
you see
that?
Down
deep
inside
I'm
trying
I
am
trying!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Abortions
and nursing
home
Who
is it that the well
serve?
Lonely
souls behind them as they
play...
Abortions
and nursing
home
This
book of stark unwritten
pages
What
hope does reason now again
unsway?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There
are reason to have a life
end
There
are reasons to have one not
begin
Responsibility,
too
inconvenient
I
don't want to, I'm to
busy
Are
reasons; Not among
them
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We
must not only think we ourselves
the
sole
souls
suffering unbirth
silent
death, for the
forests
making
the air of
tomorrow
wonder
will the
children
be
able to breathe
any?

The out come of
living seems dire
with assassins
and killers for
hire
yet isn't it
grand
we're in high
demand
let us be
howlers and howling rise
higher
This world isn't
such a bad
place
filled with
beauty, with wonder and
grace
where jasmine
and honeysuckle breezes
blow
through
trees
leaving nary a
trace
Is there a
future informing the
wise
of their
premature untimely
demise
telling them of
sorrows
they plainly can
see
and can't change
though each one of them
tries
I say
"weave them tales of
delight"
weave tales not
of dark but of
light
weave them
futures to
bare
I say if you
dare
tell them lies
but make them seem
right
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She thought it
was money well
spent
Instead of
saving, to their
schooling it went
When money ran
short
Her children's
retort
Your retirement
we can't
supplement
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Life must give
unto
life
In the sacred
circle of the
Shawnee
All Life is
sacred
Old and young,
fish, sparrow, bear and
tree
Life must give
unto
life
Can we embrace
this
philosophy?
