Gravity

Gravity

And so Nature rages on
with yet another massive storm
with unprecedented destruction
televised suffering 24/7
and I know in my bones
this is just the beginning.

The world helps as it can
but eventually help will stop
the helpers now victims themselves
and altruism less practical than
cannibalism.

None of this surprises me
most of it predicted
ignored by the powerful, the greedy
but horror is not mitigated
by science.

There's nothing to be done.
Christ will not save us.
We are incapable of saving
ourselves.

Under the circumstances
excuse me while I
practice the ukulele.
Time is short and
I have much to learn.
