WE LIVE IN A TIME OF DISASTERS

We live in a time of disasters,

not the old comfortable catastrophes of the British,

but full blown apocalypses closing around us,

and truth to be told,

we are not just innocent

victims among the disasters,

we are not just pig-headedly

making them worse

by refusing to put the climate,

healthcare, humans and nature

- the whole fucking, bleeding planet! -

before the billionaires on their piles of hoarded gold,

no, we humans as species are

one of the disasters, scything down

flora and fauna and people,

riding our skeletal horse.

We are one of the Horsemen

of the Apocalypse, the vicious leader

of the pack, garbed in flayed human flesh,

vicious, merciless, suicidal,

leading the world to Armageddon,

through one catastrophe after another;

the eye of the storm, with disasters

whipping around us like hurricane winds.
