lost in the darkness
of passion and greed.
turned away from the limitless skies
of their father…..
turned away from the breasts
of she who succored them….
burning the home they live in
for the sudden rush of fire!
breaking out the windows of hope,
eating food they cannot swallow.
wild hogs,
blindly, stupidly,
destroying everything
in their paths…..
the crumbs of their insatiable lust
hanging on their chins,
their eyes glazed, and empty….
no one home anymore!
the trees kneel with sorrow,
and the rivers cry for deliverance….
the earth weeps,
…and so do I!
