Would we rise?
Ours is a complacent culture
fed on distraction,
sport, sand, beer aplenty
would we be okay
with this kind of display?

The others
who suffer far from us
from that bully,
That spouting dying whale
still wields a powerful tail,
All for oil
all for greed
all for power
is that what the congregations prayed for?

Would we rise
I’m unsure
if we could become wise
if….

I’m unsure of anything today.
