Every Noble FieldA Poem by Brett Hernan
Having been exposed
to world wars in the past When their ghetto sons left Risking everything to take a social step, Only, to return, to the same place, more null, devoid, and derelict, than ever, and now, forever... Or, to have been, poured, mixed, with the torrent of smouldering, liquid, burning, muck, one of such a volume making Niagara Falls just, a slow, dripping, tap, by comparison, and all of it, cascading... Falling, with an immense, downward force, into the open sewer that has, since, never been closed and, into which during just those two double ewe prefixed conflicts, enough 'resources' were tossed (that's you and me, sister), to otherwise have advanced the progress in every noble field of civilised human endeavour, hundreds of years. © 2017 Brett Hernan |
