Notes On The Disappearance Of The World's Insects (A Warning By A Faust)

 



Notes On The Disappearance Of The World's Insects

(A Warning By A Faust)


Who are you calling? 

The suits are just stalling

The news is appalling

Divided we're falling 


What are you buying? 

The insects are dying 

Your president's lying 

Excusing denying 


When are you starting? 

The seas won't be parting 

For those busy charting 

How many are 🖤ing 


Where are you going? 

No place that's not showing 

The danger that's growing 

Out of money still flowing 


Why aren't they stopping?

Keep on mono-cropping

Development popping 

Pesticide slopping 


How are you helping? 

Because you'd better be helping 

Because you'd better be helping 

We all need to be helping 


We all need to be helping 

We all need to be helping 

We all need to be helping 

We need all of us helping


Showing and telling 

Teach what you knowing 

Shouting and yelling 

Get up and going

  2. this is the content of a removed comment, edited to redact personally identifying information... "----- this is ----- the blond/blue haired dancer at ----- ----- last night. You are a really good poet. I mean really good your cadence, rhythm, timing, subject matter, your off kilter way of looking at things realistically just works. I'm curious have you been doing poetry here in The city for a while? Did you know The Vampire ----- ------. He passed away a number of years ago but he was a Goth Rocker and one of my favorite poets kind of in the same vein as Bukowski . Both of whom you remind me. Kudos Sister!"
