Just Around The Curve Poem by Eric Cockrell
Just Around The Curve
Rating: ★5.0
another oil spill
hidden in small print
in the daily news....
somewhere behind
the Wall Street report,
the political hoopla...
and an ad for viagra.
maybe prostate cancer,
or the big truck hurtling
over the line just around
the curve....
smokestacks puffing,
cars backed up for miles...
cell phones ablaze...
going nowhere!

another oil spill hidden in small print in the daily news.... beautifully written, disasters of global impact, with huge implications impacting upon the environment, quality of life and human survival hidden in small print. Less important than share market prices and Viagra, is an indictment upon grid lock values in contemporary society. written with a beautiful touch.10+++
I wrote the poem 'Question Human Survival', inspired by the poem 'Just Around The Curve', by the poet Eric Cockrell and dedicated to Eric Cockrell.
