Ode to Kindness
Brian John I'Anson 1939 (Bethlam)
Our Mother Earth
has timelessly evolved
yet reeling now
from suicidal lusts for loot
taking from her abundance
in desperate rape.
Dire need demands that we be kind
to our fellow humankind
supportive of our larger kindred self
for our planet's bare survival
despite malignant aberrations
foisted on our kinder ways.
