Paloma P Poet Elegy

Polluted Ignorance

It rained rose red blood as
overwhelmed skies wept
in disbelief as to the dastardly
depths humankind had fallen,
as jazz hands ignore the signs\
of ignorant garbage tripping
an earth in retrograde dumps
mindlessly burying an epic fail
mid plastic strewn parking lots,
paved of filthily neglected density,
shrouded 'tween polluted disregard

Daniel Turner October 31, 2016 at 10:03 AM Great write, Paloma on a totally disgusting subject. I don't consider it as ignorance, more like laziness or slothfulness. Paloma P November 1, 2016 at 9:26 AM I agree with you Danny, but one has to be lacking in knowledge or simple logic to be unaware that indulging in that type of behavior is destroying our precious planet.

Chris Green October 31, 2016 at 9:42 AM Ignorance may be bliss but ignorant people are a blister on the rump of nature. This reads angry and I can understand why. Well crafted rant Paloma. Paloma P November 1, 2016 at 9:25 AM Thanks Chris, I'm really sick of those littering mongrels.
