An Older Poem

Was indulging in a bit of ego-massaging by searching for my own name on Yahoo! Search. Found this old poem about pollution that I had written as a sophomore in college. This has always been one of my most favorite pieces, environmental connections notwithstanding. It's a little sophomoric of course ...

The Audacity Of A By-Product

Omnipresent...
Omnivorous...
You made me
I will unmake you all.

Inescapable...
Unstoppable...
You bred me
I will wipe out your brood.

Fastidious...
Impervious...
You fed me
I will devour your souls.

An Ironic Doom...
A Fitting Death...
You let me breathe
I will choke you dead.

The slave shall live...
The masters will die...
You let me loose
Catch me if you can!!!
