once was great

being born into a sick society
we walk like somnambulists
through bombed out buildings
horses running along old roads
how we came here through
the rain of pills and bills
churches no matter how many people
come to hear the word of god
are empty, god left long ago
once he realized he belonged
out in nature with the trees
the once great emerald forests
now wastelands of matchsticks
the once mighty mountains
now mole hills
the once expansive blue sky
now covered in a white blanket
the once star filled night
now like trying to look at heaven
through a newspaper cloud
the once pure rain of nectar
now a drizzle pf poison drops
the once great omnipotent ocean
now a huge puddle of garbage
the horses still running down lost roads
the books in libraries gather dust
words waiting for a century to be read
we are not any more sane living in an insane
world, the poets live among the killer sharks
