No MoreA Poem by Maryam MottahedehNo More They have turned the sky white Trails and trails crisscross the sky Widen the spread of chemicals
A daily occurrence The denial and dismissal of facts Schizophrenic minded scientist Project pharmaceutical lies And with the recipe of patsies Authorities wipe their mouths clear Of whispering headlines
Distracting fluff Force feed the tableted deceptions Contrails and sheer dismissal Echo in the insane asylum
Have you looked up at the sky Or are you so engaged in the movie That you forgot where you are
All day I watch The poisonous markings of the beast in the sky Year after year Yielding illness and cool weather
There is no escape No evacuation plan The fire fighters and police men have all left behind Their conscience and liability of oath To protect and defend against all enemies Yes, All Foreign and domestic Do you remember
When did we cease to exist I pray for a day of sunshine And the glare of solar rays To burn away This unfathomable debt To our souls on earth and in the sky © 2012 Maryam Mottahedeh |
