Question:

Kaituer Falls falls!.
Majesty sold to despair!.
Lumber giants,
trees dying
on the Brazilian landscape
not native to the Amazon!.
Exotic Purple Heart
Sickening, lurching, dropping
helpless against a wicked brigade
of switch and trade!.

In a rainless forest
a thundering profusion springs forth!.
Color and celebration
announces a hopeful
morning sky!.
A lie
performed by
industrial morticians
pivoting to spout progress
from the trigger side of their barrels
guns or oil they shoot their plumes high
writing sorrows obituary
on the sky!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You have captured the non-pluss, of the nonplussed!.
As humans there are only so many things we can fit into our useless brain at one time!. 7 is the magic number I think, if we add an 8th problem, we loose one!. Hhmmh!. So which one!.

Foreclosure
Feeding ourselves
finding work
kids in trouble with the law
husband cheating
having a 14 year old pregnant daughter
ailing or dying parents/husband/wife
son's and daughters at was in- well wherever
gas prices
Worry, worry, worry!.
Earth's destruction!? Now there is a priority, but next to our personal problems most have no room, other than a passing thought or comment!.
I am glad you have taken of your time to open eyes, I hope the ones who are fighting for our planet can add another vigilante to their clan because they read you wonderful words!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
