Slow moving sea turtles <br />Beached with Orca meals; <br />Minotaural complexities in zonal proximity <br /> <br />And mastodons crash without wheels... <br /> <br />Empty echoing mines shafts <br />Funded with the tears of a nation, <br />Reconstituted recyclables stand firm <br /> <br />On addressees and procrastination. <br /> <br />Eyes that see a million pictures <br />In paranormal avenues of glasnost, <br />Where I sit alone in a tepid bathtub, <br /> <br />Singing along with Michael Buble’s “Lost” <br /> <br />Out of earshot, naturally so <br />And the accompanying video is deemed a nasty <br />While dolphins die in pools of blood <br /> <br />Such images initiate nightmares long lasting. <br /> <br />The sea is calm today <br />As I view the panorama in my mind’s eye <br />And cut myself shaving, blooded yes <br /> <br />But I’m not about to die <br /> <br />In sylloquial anguish and pain <br />As the world turns, mocked by death <br />Inflicting mankind’s cruellest hand <br /> <br />While I slumber lazily in my bed. <br /> <br />What can I do? What, should I do? <br />Smiling makes little difference at all, <br />Children in blazing hot deserts fall by the score <br /> <br />While I worry if today I’ll hear God’s call. <br /> <br />Supermarkets sell on unlawful kills. <br />Kids on street corners are all popping pills. <br /> Governments gorge on than their fill. <br />But ignorance laughs while apathy kills. <br />All run away and hide in the hills. <br />Far from slow moving turtle's idyll. <br />More important, grindstone, nose and mill, <br />Oxford 1 Manchester cathedral nil! <br />And I scratch away with an inked up quill. <br />Coffee hot, bashful warring, the chills <br />Oblivious like slow moving turtles <br />And ignorance laughs while apathy kills... <br /> <br />Look ye above, look on until <br />The rains shall parade 'pon windows of sill, <br />Acidic and deadly, comes to maim at will <br /> <br />While ignorance laughs and apathy kills...<br /><br />tcr moon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/slow-moving-turtles/
