Equality before lawA Poem by Laura Lynn
Angels, pretty people with wings, they hover.
Bloated dead creatures, dressed in seaweed cover, Blobs dredged up from salty water. Get your bug Repellent for the hike, roll up your prayer rug. Obstinate terrain, war and economy. Nonexistent love, my angry family. Trophy of love, I would do anything for. Sauntering hero we saw him with folklore. Aloof and with his riches, and we women Repeating creeds of storybook ambition. Environmentalists strive to preserve the land, Asking cowhands to join hands with coastlands. Block me from your world; I need a new field. Blemishes from age look much better concealed. Repair my body and mind, sweet heat, what offhand remarks have made their way into this hut. Nonentity is a matter of perspective. Tropical climates both sportive and restive, Savage seem, but their work goes on the same, Altars for Sunday, working for a name. Noodles and company for dinner with friends. Trot along with your enemies now godsends. Eminent act, we’ve donned, it is not fitting or applicable to our cause or station, for Blessings await us, we are ready with our sorry blockade, marking time and drinking lemonade. Replenish me, Lord, from this drought of mind, Ordain me a high priestess, not just to find Nooks, one wall meeting another wall. Playing truant with sinners and tax collectors, now I’m praying. © 2014 Laura Lynn |
