it was not so long ago that
dawn ushered beauty into the day,
golden mustard or waving wheat
glistening grass or fruit laden trees
fragrant flowers or the bubbling stream,
that settled somewhat the rapacious beast within
then the connection snapped, we are all adrift
in rivers of greed and lust, the corpses stink
that float besides, terrifying to behold
and smothering the desire to rise above
and be the men we were meant to be
