Oceans are gobbling up oil-rigs
and coastal beaches; hailstones
are bringing down roof tops,
and harshly dismantling vehicles;
winds are taking out bridges,
like a peel from a banana……
Nature put Her trust in Man,
but Man put his trust in Science;
Science as dangerous as a Minotaur
that has escaped the Labyrinth
in the night.
An invincible revolution has swept
across the world; lament reeking deep
within our souls, makes us vulnerable
to deathly hopelessness.
“Natural Revolution” was printed in Crossroads, No. 8 of Inwood Indiana. Pick up the paperback from Prolific Press; the stories and poems published online are free to read here.
