WE

~ a poem for the past, present and future ~

We

sneered

at simple faces

dromedaries and sandy walls

We

sent

emissaries and doom

garb of modernity,

it was!

We

stretched

unholy limbs

into privates not our own

We

rusted innocent turbines

and bloods of many colors?

Vaporized.

We

laughed

as metal ate innards

on the other side

of our sun

We

laughed hard

at skullcaps and black veils

laughed

even as hunger

welcomed locusts

and twigs for bones

We

watched

our greed sniff out

mythical troves

secret destructions,

we said.

We
