Treaty Words Poem by soren Barrett
Treaty Words
"As long as the moon shall rise"
(Has it fallen from the skies?)
"As long as the rivers flow"
(Garbage plugged them long ago)
"As long as the sun shall shine"
(Thick smog from skyline to skyline)
"As long as the grass does grow"
(Only pavement now does show)
