Activism
I can say a civil hello
But anymore lie for popularity
And read poems like grade school work
Ignoring the condition of the world
And the disconnect of self
Marginalizing the deeper worth in us
The gift we are given by sacred trust
To make the blind speak
And the dumb listen
The dying pain of trees
We comment on one another
As if we are writing in sandbox again
On the frivolous bend of knees.
Not me
Sticking to the soul marginalization by words
I bend my knees
To pray for more than the mutilation of trees.
