Alone In The Wilderness


If we can’t agree on fifty-one percent

of what affects us both

we’re doomed

Like the baby and the bathwater

our future lost

in critical disdain

 

All politics of division

a self-imposed, self-righteous

Armageddon

The brotherhood of humanity

sacrificed

—on its dying altar of shame

 

(Tribute To Anthony Hopkins:  July, 2022)
