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'.
