Soon Balloon Poem by Chris Goss

Soon Balloon



I feel that I will be oh so dead soon
Like an elderly grey haired face baboon
Or once inflated a fire red balloon
Or a butterfly that did not emerge from its caterpillar
Or a terrified first time soldier deserting the dragoon
Or a once magnificent fighter slain by a dragon
Or a slaughter of a whole war torn platoon
Or the polluted white coral in a fish less lagoon
Or the millions of sharks killed with a harpoon
So the Chinese cuisine has its finest food
Seen by the World in terms of overfishing so crude
The polar caps tumbling into the sea blue
And overall the man on Earth has ruled cruel
If I were pistol fighter I would lose my duel
