We’re being watched
We're
being watched
from toppled tower
top
to crematorium ash
from toddler in the
tide
to butterfly wings lifting
less - we’re being watched
as ice caps cap-polar bears roar
in melted muddied-bloodied
less - we’re being watched
as ice caps cap-polar bears roar
in melted muddied-bloodied
water- tsunamis racing over
sunbathers, bombs
blasting
chests of children
waiting
for virginal reward
in a here-
after seen more
clearly than
any present possibility- we’re
being watched as too many
gobble goods in focused greed
clutching frantic as any un-
any present possibility- we’re
being watched as too many
gobble goods in focused greed
clutching frantic as any un-
schooled toddler in a
toy shop –
more as they slide
side by side
impoverished - we’re
being
watched - as even
one hand
stretches for another
to grasp -
to lift –to support
-to comfort
this world –spun out
of sense and
sanity slipping
-we’re being watched
as planes burst in
the sky and flesh falls
in fields as scraps
for survivors to
scrape home - we’re
being watched –
as we turn away
we are being
watched
by sight-
seeing
each
and
all
