is reflected in golden green
when tin’s polluted face beams
up at the passerby from the pond.

The deft hand of embarrassment
then claims his victim’s senses
as he (the victim) comprehends
the trash we fling at the gods.

Cere’s loving harvest gift
is brought up and pummeled
to make candy bars and rubble
sing the woes of unjust hogs.

The blight of man hovers o’er creation
like shades in the warmth of evening,
and creature stops great, starts believing
the crass counsel of foolish pawns.

Reason unreasonable, unreadable,
credulous, penniless, proken in pity,
becomes the forte of insecurity
while new algae covers the frogs.

Heavy with the fear of understanding
the victim turns his countenance
away from dark circumstance
to find a more apathetic god.
