that swallowed Atlantis….
those same children,
starving ‘neath Africa’s sun….
dead from the bombings
in Iraq, Afghanistan, and soon Iran….
their bodies thrown into dumpsters
here in the United States….
dead on the borders,
dead in the oil filled waters,
dead on the cocaine streets,
dead in the prisons…
dead in the colleges,
dead in the unemployment lines….
dead on the picket lines,
dead, handcuffed, and beaten….
dying, and dead, world crazy spinning…
as the ‘light of the world’
sputters, and goes out….
dead in the wombs of the
homeless, hopeless, and forgotten…
dead by our hands!
