Sinkholes - Prophetic

sinkholes suddenly slam earth asunder do you hear the thunder? the rains are coming can you sense it in the air? Chaos everywhere... mountains falling streams heaving rooftops caving everyone shaving parts of themselves clean scoured and plastic bereft of all real knowledge standing above looking down sneering clearing the way for mediocrity upholding vile impudent waste as predominately IMPORTANT

Understood part of your poem. Lost me in the end. But oh, those images are powerful!

It's also a bit prophetic. When the "sinkholes" sinking earth happens then things get in a better perspective. I guess that's what I meant;)

Hi Kim, thank you. This is really just a metaphor about how we uphold unimportant things (looks, materialism,status...) as so important. Thanks again, Linda
