SURVIVE

 

The world sank into battle

Hostility between flags

Cultures, people, food, art, music

All intertwined

Genealogy a convoluted Congo line

Interbred babies since time began

The mix of chromosomes beneficial

Diversifying the risk

Survival it is

Whether tree lobsters on Lord Howe Island

Or the pretty girl walking

Beside you right now

            She looks into you

            Wonders about the wonder that is you

            You respond

            With a slight smile

            Interested, but not overtly

            While the drama unfolds

            Children of wealth and privilege

            A wanderer among stones

Who sees the future?

How clear is it?

Are the girls just as pretty?

Will there be a circus and cotton candy?

Or will the Prom be cancelled

And the big game postponed

While the politicians scold

Each other and the whole wide world

For not being perfect

When all we want

Is to be left alone.

            And with that, we depart
