Pretty pictures

We refuse to accept while others perform

Rainbow painted warrior,
adrift on a sea of toxic waste, 
shall one ever know what lies beneath the surface.


Could it be the sins of the fathers, 
come back to haunt us all,
or perhaps the realisation that all is not well within the natural world in which we live.


Overhead clouds of acid stripping the very lifeblood of the planet pause for a moment to examine the damage they cause whilst secretly admiring the efforts of the warrior.

Still they pour out their bile towards the ground.

Perhaps the answer lies yet deeper than the feat of a mere mortal,
only  given at the end of our time, 
a time which draws ever nearer with each belch of power driven exhaustion.

Yet think yea not of these things, 
whilst all the while we have pretty pictures to amuse.

Your words so true, but as long as there exists money, there'll be greed, and where there's greed, Nature has no value...!!!
As much as many, too many and especially those in power don't realise, that Nature will always have the last say, and has and will punch human kind full force into the guts, and will get its final revenche when the time has come to play the close in for the kill!!!
But as long as we have pretty pictures to amuse us ...
