Poisoned Sprinklers

Poisoned Sprinklers

 

 

green lawns run away and hide

under blankets of turned leaves

and white snow

all with no conscience

as to what their impact

is to the damaged blades

disenfranchised

disengaged

disinherited

dying in droves

 

next spring will come

but the lawns 

will be nothing 

but dirt lots

 

with posted signs

warning trespassers

to "Keep Off."

Wow good write deep in thought it makes you wonder as one reads I could go on but there is one thing I know grass is the blanket of the earth.
Thank you for sharing.
