Madman

madman
do you think he sees us
should we whisper
what will he do
	as he touches all

They're crazed;
They see only one.
Trembling voices hide.
We know their evils —
their priorities and politic,
and their fantasies.

There, air is foul.
That ground is raised.
Stagnant waters swell.
Here is truth;
unheeded reality,
the message we bear.

Temporary

History is departing

Prior moments
Forever done

The memories
And lessons learned

Charity

It isn't enough to plant the green babies
With a tobacco setter
Someone must follow behind
Scoop dirt around their roots
And press them firmly into the ground
Someone must replace
Those flung out
And crushed beneath the tractor wheels
