The Coming Void Poem by Tom Billsborough

The Coming Void

Rating: 0.5


I am the vacuum.
I am the void you won't avoid.
I the seedless earth,
The yellow unforgiving sands,
Death Valley multiplied,
The shrinking glaciers,
The rising tide swallowing your lands.
I am your need,
Your tsunami of Greed.
So gather round, children,
Repeat after me..
Let us be free
To live for today
In our work and our play.
Banish your pain, banish your sorrow.
Banish tomorrow.
Leave that to me
For I am the vacuum,
I am the void you won't avoid.

Yikes! That is a very foreboding poem during a foreboding time. I hope we can avoid it, but I am afraid. I'm very, very afraid. Thanks for sharing Tom.

, Pam. Can't decide who is worse. Your President or our feeble Prime Minister! At least in the States there are greater powers to resist and I was particularly impressed by Pittsburg's mayor. I think many states will use their power to thwart Trump's rejection of the Paris accords.
