ecosystem stability….

hear we go again
heavy rains
of
concern
over
the middle east
and
africa
while winds
of
sanctions
are
diverted
by
a front
of
political denial
protecting
the state
of
israel
while
the downpour
of
missiles
created
a flood
of
funerals
in
the gaza strip
but
not too worry
the
un has promised
a
full analysis
of
death’s winds
so
rest assured
there’s
nothing going
to
be
done
but
you may experience
once again
a cold hail
of
emotional trauma
but
by now
you
should
be
climatized
to
that
as for
the forecast
more
of
the same patterns
of
social injustice
worldwide

each evening
he occupies
the same seat
has the same drinks
and discusses
the same damn things
how hard
his life is
what
went wrong
to derail
his dreams
the problems
of religion
and
government
last of all
usually
to
a young lady
who wandered in
trying to avoid
inclement weather
but
found it
why
he lives
alone
the bartender
just
views him
as
part of
the
decor
