Flurry

Snow covered 'Mt. Bache', aka. 'Loma Prieta', using telephoto lens from my workshop roof.

Flurry
4/13/11

Snow still flies in Shasta
as Santa Cruz catches tail
of stormy weather, cold rain,
Mother Nature is extremely busy
shifting seasons far and wide
while Earth searches for equilibrium
trying to assimilate the changes
mankind renders to Her environment,
sucking out bodily fluids, resources,
then manipulating them to 'burn'
for energy, spewing polluting by-product
residuals into air, water, land,
which is constant profitable activity
sanctioned in unequal 'capitalist' world
where few win, many lose,
(really everyone's loss in end)
creating 'society' that rapes, pillages,
does not stop to meditate
on the trajectory set upon,
only thinking of today's list
filled by needs, wanton desires,
while keeping it's head down
afraid 'system' could be next
demise that Fate will pick,
if desperate efforts aren't taken
to sustain flurry of 'greed'.
