The Pilgrim Prophet Speaks
Obliteration is the main command,
The prime requirement of posterity;
A universal death the first command,
A total need is this austerity.
Ten billion coral polyps have to die
And forty trillion tentacles succeed
Them on the ocean floor. A faceless, sly,
And brutal, colorless but toothsome greed
Is driven by a dagger-shaped blind eye.
Crazed Oedipus saw he was in a game
With gods. He wasn’t. While his mother’s brooch
Stabbed out his eyeball jelly, nature’s shame
Bides merciless as children make approach.
..Descendants die in turn from depth to height
….And all of this takes place in Christ’s mild sight.
