Nothing Left to Give
Smart phones are a boon and a curse They unite, simultaneously isolate us Rooted deep into our days, our purse In oh so many ways they bankrupt us Tech rules, talking, staring at a screen Cut off from each as we communicate To the fly on my leg, it means nothing In caves, no-touch interaction […]
Business as Usual?
Could it be we all simply do not care Enveloped in our sad and petty lives Trusting wealthy, politicians, swearing Won’t alter Earth so only they survive Hasn’t happened yet, that I’m aware Nor a thing to help our world survive We might well live outside, walk bare Any leader we asks only jukes or […]
A Matter of Heart
People are made to be loved and things are made to be used. The confusion in this world is that things are being loved and people are being used. Unknown – At least I couldn’t find any attribution I am sick unto death of describing how screwed up our world has become. Earth, our home, […]
