Out of control


Exceptionally wise
some people say or sprout.
Exceptionally.
So, whatever does that relate to?

Someone, somewhere
predicting the outcome
of the gold standard,
shares of worth, wealth explored?

What type of prediction
for the world wars?
What type of worth
when the oil depletes?

Gold a common exchange,
but little food and water
human beings starving.
Greed no longer a monetary treat.

I say to a wise woman about to give birth,
‘What are your predictions?’
And she does insistently retort.

Health, safe delivery, all okay.
Number of fingers and toes
in the right order and way.



.

Future prospects
clean and comfortable life style.
Free from harm and injury
while she has that important role
to respect the gift of life.

The newness and potential
to protect and favour
for the rest of her natural life.

So, where are the birthing brigade?
Protecting the innocence of life.
Future’s potential, for their natural life.
As war and violence,
the way of the gun brigade
prefer killing as a way to parade.

So much damage,
out of control.
Life no longer safe
and sacredly maintained.

And of our future
when nuclear is sprouted
as a way to maintain
control over an enemy
we sell to and barter with

night times over
in the cell of secrecy
the terrorists claim.

But are they not us
as we give our worth away?
