Empty Fields of Plenty

E ntreating our persuasion
M anifesting that more is always better
P owering the effort to provide
T ables languishing with waste and
Y ears of abuse to abundance

F isheries of men
I dle in their satisfaction
E manating from their harvests
L ong overdue in sharing
D riving their gifts of plenty
S traight into the jaws of wastelands

O ver shoals of greed
F ailing to know their heart's content

P latitudes of gratitude
L ay empty and barren
E agerly spent then forgotten
N aked in their humbleness
T o the Gods of Cornucopia
Y ielding to a desolate starving future

Caren Krutsinger Date: 4/29/2020 6:33:00 AM "Manifesting that more is always better" - this is so sadly true, we do it, even though we surely know better.
