A Moment To Ponder Poem by John Sensele

A moment of revelation
Spins marble hearts open
Swinging into action upon introspection
Bunches of surprises at the foot of a trembling aspen.

A moment of reflection
Upon paths of life traversed
Questions whys and hows of inaction
Into courses of action that could not be reversed.

A moment of serendipity
Invents formulas for prolonging bliss
With no iota of pity in a city
Where religious strictures lip excision for a public kiss.

A moment of rare brilliance
Rescues humankind from its folly
In denying the existence of environmental science
As tycoons proclaim their pseudo science holy.
