Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Shape

The Distinction of Exinction

what despair is this
                                            civilization after
                                               society after
                                               culture after
                                                 individual
                                                    after
                                                    every
                                                     fate
                                                  suffered
                                                 to witness
                                              the fatheaded
                                            diseased minded
                                         ending of everything

Lawrence Sharp August 9, 2018 at 11:38 PM Very well worded, and the hourglass perfectly illustrates time marching on our self-destruction. A very fine write. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart August 10, 2018 at 7:19 AM Thank you Lawrence, one of those 'practically wrote itself' pieces, xomo!

Anil Deo August 8, 2018 at 5:33 PM Brilliant hourglass poem; we have opportunities, yet. But time is of the essence. Sorry I am tardy in ready Maureen; glad I caught this one. Yiu're such an honest, authentic, kind, inspiring & encouraging writer here on PS. Shalom, shalom. Anil (Changed your Icon/Image) Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart August 9, 2018 at 6:56 AM Thank you so much Anil! I believe in opportunity, technology, if we muster the will, alas, unfortunately more like if industry muster's the will. Cause and effect~supply and demand, demand we should. I'm rambling... ;) thank you for your kind words, appreciated my friend. xomo
