Don’t look now


Conscious understanding
in the literal sense
means one is attentive consciously.
Whatever does that mean
in a war-torn, Westernised thrust
and lust for greed?

Politicians are bought and sold.
Political pawns to the overflow of gold.

Corporate, corrupt and criminal deeds
makes one wonder who we are,
what type of breed?

Lost, despaired, sinful folk
taking violently from those in want and need;
in effect a warring crime
leaving souls torn, without a purpose
lost from those in a greed-torn, violent angry storm.

Dying, crying –
What do we truly care for?
Homelessness and the ever growing poor?

I ask of myself each day, ‘Who am I
in this poverty-stricken, heartless brigade’?
Taking greedily, consuming constantly,
hating anyone other than we,
the so-called arrogant, exceptionally
white world of purity.

Don’t look now
you will all die, eventually.
So, nuke your world and let us see
who will die upon that cloud of dust in the sky.

God, do help I pray,
only when urgently needed,
‘Don’t let it be me.’
