Unholy Trinity
By and large, I to go with the current
make no trouble and leave no mess
but this path of least resistance
has brought us to a precipice
or two, maybe three
an unholy
trinity.
So, I will join the protest,
drop a knee, though
acknowledging
white male
privilege
will not
make it
go away
maybe
it’s a start.
But I will wear a mask
cause that corona
virus is serious
four hundred
thousand
globally
and still
killing.
And brothers and sisters, it sure is hot
some blame sun cycles, say it’s not
fossil’s fault except CO2’s rising,
sea level too,
We might build
an ark, but all the trees
have been chopped down
and Mother Earth will watch us
slowly drown.
