Our Infamy

Another day void of daydreaming,
a clean smile has perished, drowned
under our policies of greediness.


The oceans of the planet won’t hide
our infamy or conceal our sins.
Perfectly pure hands have been crucified 
on a cross of sanctified water.


Sad lamentations carrying over
of never ending horrific crying.
The lifeless body of an infant 
looking at us,
brushed ashore by hunger.
