Tomorrow

Ever certain ever near
As sunrise
Pales to crystal sphere
Ashes scatter
Windswept lands
Laying rest
Rapacious hands
Parasitic thoughts
Have waste
Chattles sweeten
Bitter-rain
To taste
Resources drowned
At oceans seize
Only echoes
Loiter
On inert breeze
Tomorrow etched
On earth's headstone
Today's demise
At man's intone
Taking more
Than need allowed
Fertile ground
To
Barren shroud
Still the footprints
Haunt the shore
Of genus
Ever taking more
Where life was once
Incessant bloom
Memory
And desecrate
Consume
The future raped
Of chance to be
Insolvent skies
Chase ruined sea
Where few on plinth
Dripped each excess
Sightless gaze
And void
Redress
Materialistic-will
Became
His faith
His hope
His future
Shame
