Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Scientists Are Crying

government directives
corruption at her highest pinnacle
scientists are looking to save people
but they are concentrating on all
not just the rich
poverty of spirit is rampant

drought has lasted two months
water table is hard and dried out
rain is a but a vague memory
scientists speak of flowers
no one has them not even violets

food import has been approved
but food is not what we need
the electricity in the air is non-existent
dams are unmoving
water is at an all time low

we are conserving
scientists are begging the government to
drill boreholes now, 
to find the much needed veins of water
which might save us from early death

where do we store all this food 
the government asks
no one cares
what good is food to the dead
Water is life
we should be concentrating on water
Scientists are crying
storage of food?
Some welcome death
A relief

David Mchattie May 16, 2019 at 6:35 PM Great poem on an important topic. Water is everything. Have a great day. Caren Krutsinger May 16, 2019 at 11:43 PM Water is almost as important as air; wait. They are both kind of important, right?

CayCay Godwin May 16, 2019 at 6:14 PM AND scientists cannot get work done without kissing hinny for money; there goes scientifically minded agendas in fav of greedy ones. Did you know electric cars hurt the environment more than gas cars because they have to rape mother earth for the metals to put in the battery? On and on I could go agreeing with the deceiving I hope no one is believing. Good poem, sad, sad topic. All the best ... CayCay Caren Krutsinger May 16, 2019 at 11:44 PM Thank you CayCay. I know little about little, but I know we have to stop and think about what we are losing when we are cutting down every single rain forest so that a few might have big bucks.

Kurt Ravidas May 16, 2019 at 1:28 PM Is it so bad? Where do you live, Caren? Just hold on. I'm going to book a prayer service for rain and for all fools die. Caren Krutsinger May 16, 2019 at 2:58 PM Kurt, I am in Kansas. This is happening everywhere but Kansas right now. I am just worried about later.
