Poetry: This insanity

by Jishi Santos

Created on: April 07, 2011

This insanity of making and manufacturing

and covering the earth with steel

ripped from the planet's bowels

is all we have to show of our

so called progress and 

dare I say civilization.

Shame that such mercenary

and cruel means satisfy greedy ends

when a so called 'primitive'  dweller

from the Amazon or the Kalahari

or New-Guinea has mastered the

ultimate survival lifestyle

with total respect for the 

earth they were born into.....

and the oldest known peoples,

the Australian Aborigines,

know of supernatural happenings

that are recorded in their 

rock art  and help them to respect the 

ground they walk on.....

tell me where the insanity rests

if you were able to look down

on the beautiful blue planet from on high,

smoke from a nuclear power station

destroyed by nature or the smoke

from a simple campfire in the desert?
