The agony of now

 v

Lines for August 18, 2021

 

Ultimately,  as if ultimatum is a flddle-footed  notion,

people by habit account for obnoxious stuff----

 

the mysteries of a  planet,

the sublime  debris  of essentials----

 

those  mini-testimonials  cancel

aged beliefs in values, confidence in the what matters .

 

People by nature cannibalize patience

the way Columbo  and trench coat ate tolerance,

 

the way the daily news cancers

a human heart or a human thought.

 

People by custom insist that they are

entitled to obliterate Creation.

 

Jerry W. Ward, Jr.
