Cement, plaster, iron and glass<\/p>\n
man’s permanent structures sure faded fast<\/p>\n
So glad we’re together, so glad we know<\/p>\n
that a garden well tended will eventually grow<\/p>\n
it may take a while, even long years<\/p>\n
expect a few tangent’s, a few well paced tears<\/p>\n
but we know some deep magic, between you and I<\/p>\n
there are seed banks and aquafers under this sky<\/p>\n
conserve what we can, that much we’ve learned<\/p>\n
take care of the land, before it’s all burned<\/p>\n
out and empty. No more delay<\/p>\n
They said it would happen, some counted the day<\/p>\n
Others they laughed and dove deeper into the void<\/p>\n
Mother Earth was annoyed<\/p>\n
she spewed and she spat, but she wasn’t destroyed<\/p>\n
the pumpers and frackers, the excess of want<\/p>\n
detritus now, the fats cats grown gaunt<\/p>\n
service economy, dichotomy revolt<\/p>\n
Kudza eats the houses, the ground swallows whole<\/p>\n
all things not necessary, created below<\/p>\n
the sky and the sun, the breast of the snow<\/p>\n
through the cracks in cement the flowers still grow<\/p>\n
