“I am, by calling,
a dealer in words;
and words are,
of course,
the most powerful drug
used by mankind.”

abnormal escape from reality

Poem:

April showers brings May pollen
the early worm evades the robin
nature both gives and takes away
man gifted by a beautiful bouquet
can we ruin it all with plastic pollution
are there consequences for fooling evolution
when man has expired there will be no more time
there will be no winners to punish the crime
hopefully we’ll find where the soul resides
nature will overcome those pesticides
the philosophers will discover what it is
everyone will know all of the answers to all of the quizzes
chortle, love, do the next right thing
pray, prepare to welcome another spring

“One impulse from a vernal wood
May teach you more of man,
Of moral evil and of good,
Than all the sages can.”

Poem:
.
alas, that man no longer learns
what Nature so gladly teaches
how survival of the fittest turns
a slow evolution of our features
nature has been displaced by city jungles
man’s attitude influenced by race and religion
majority of concerns regard daily struggles
billions ignorant about nuclear fission
pollution encroaches upon Walden’s pond
oceans clogged by plastic litter
stupid believes the cure is a government bond
or maybe the magic of a presidential twitter
Chicago’s sounds come from gunshots
birds gave up singing long ago
San Francisco’s sanctuary is tied in knots
innocent victims and narcotics dough
Paris riots over global warming
religious radicals causing much woe
Los Angeles is draining the Colorado
extremist need to go with the flow
today is your chance to cure the burn
breath deep, breath slow
find a bad habit to overturn
learn from nature which way to go
