Ken Jordan Poet Light Verse

Ravenous

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Ravenous 
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: June/1986


Soon,
their want be
mountains, valleys,
rivers,
or hills -

For 
the ravenous 
ones
will gorge,

and
swallow up
the surely raw
simplicity 
of
nature -

Craving
and
greed
as a whole,

will  not
fill
their
stomach's -

The 
beast within
will
hunger 
for more,

until
the forest
become
forest-less,

Until
it's
thirsty throat
become
famished,

depriving
the land
of
all  it's
resources -

When
will it
end?

Soon,
their want
be
mountains, valleys,
rivers,
or
hills -
