Bonfires of Destruction
Insanity of man
smoke and haze
hang heavily in the sky
branding skin
of our struggling earth
Insanity of man
footprints of destruction
in puffs of soupy smog
trails of diesel
from buses’ tails
Insanity of man
shadows flicker
brave the grey
staining the earth
a death echo
Insanity of man
airborne residues
fallow sickening glow
wind poisoned
by sooty lungfuls
Insanity of man
suicide doses
torrid tongues
veils of smoke
thin wisps exhale
Insanity of man
pollution scattered
intoxicated ashes
seared flesh of world
smoke bonfires.
