latent...latter...patent..pattern
they fell...
their sundials like Pripyat
still throws shadows
from chernobyls
carcophagus
The elephants foot
and into the ocean
lava and radiated
water...from pompeis
destruction..krakatua
atlantis
Fukishima

they dug up GATE OF MERCURY
and at night when there is
that just of moonlight
only cats mark time
beneath the stars
or heavy rains

what may buy us time
will be a microbe
created and altered by
us...
re infection mass
spectrum reflection

the spanish flu in
nineteen fourteen
spread around the
globe like wildfire
and it was mere
contained too
humans....unlike
the modern viruses
sharing genes and
alteration of helix
dna that adapts
grows in Human
pigs and chickens

similar to moulds
carried by birds
with water droppings
but mould is basic
and everywhere
insects can carry
this also
wind..spores
they at that level
are just that..

or radiation the nuke
threat...if all were let
off....not in concievable
the world fall out would
devastate majority of
forests of use as we
the litarate world know
crops...rivers where
fish harvest would
be contaminated
its not the destruction of
ground zeros...its the
fall out...
but there should be
survivors
its a big globe...
islands far enough away
weather patterns off
the ocean on continents
where the fall out would
not heavily contaminate
pockets of people in
valleys...jungles in the
south...ships sailing
vessels far in the south
people will survive
and rebuild

by ninety fifty five
the loss of life in the
world from the result
of earlier wars was
surpassed by the
many births of the
sucessful thriving
post war rebuilding
of economny..

if unchecked our
population increase
with use of industrial
emissions will make
a dent in our
atmosphere

im not a doomsayer
I have hope
but we are on the
edge
and its been awhile
since the cycles
let loose
a plauge

thank U!

A very thoughtful poem with a question. I do know there are changes, but good or bad I do not know. There was a time that I believe I know. Now, I know that I did not know and I will never know.

Vultures
crawl....but eventually rise
of the hungry and curious
will feast on the eyes
of Ignorance and innocence
for their indifferent bliss

just made that up

but its accurate

rome fed on lust and love
and power
and somehow the Gauls
whom they feared reviled
dismissed and admired
overtook their Love me..Love
me not daisy chain of absolute
expansionism..
they were not colonialists
thumping about with their war
sandals and hand too hand
tools and shield
they were like the Nazis
whom tried too emulate
the Glory of conquest
and suceeded as Rome
but perished in the
rather addictive and virulent
strain of madness..
Without the push of Romes
domination the Gauls
would never have really
gotten fired up and greatly
Pissed enough to decide
they could take Rome...
took awhile...hell of a lot
longer then the axis did
and it took a lot of supression
...like a jackal beast described
as Hister by Nostredmous
the pig men and others battled
and fought...

I often wondered if America had
not gotten the bomb sooner
would they have hit Berlin
Berlin would have been rebuilt
as did the cities obliterated
by the fatman bombs...
Or
if Histler been able to
ship a submarine or naval
craft or merchant up the Hudson
and set it off....
plausible impossibles...
maybe...

no one expected 911 to happen
day of that even my chum said
No...not that complex when I told
him it was a well planned event..
but most people see not the
thousand yard stare horizon\

count yourself lucky that U
have been always on the top
if U are intelligencia with
freedom and opinion

we would not be writing
this in a soviet bloc state

americans are lucky....
since 1776 until a few years
they were not invaded
Bay of Pigs...Cuba Crisis
was so close...
they would have lost a few
cities.....the subs were
right there..

vigilance..different then
vigalantiasm
organization and that
accumulative growth
of might and spirit
is simmering all around
the globe again

first ones too go in
the great purges of fear
through dictatorships
are Poets and Intellectuals

question authority..
of course
be national for
the land under your
feet....Could be a wise
choicE

my dad was american
God bless america
My mother was canada
our home and native
land..

it is an exciting time to
be a poet and be alive
thank U!

but veryprecise. Love it.
