Ruins Reign Regardless

Writer's picture: Words Among TreesWords Among Trees

Game of Thrones fans

are petitioning HBO

to remake Season 8

with competent writers


No updates

about the recent deaths

of myriad whales

how their stomachs

have been found

full of plastic


No mention

of how such plastic

is strangulating

Mother Earth

choking

our oceans


No concern

for the environment

incentive to educate

as another

throws a bag

on rotten ground


The crickets

sing louder

than ever

oblivious

to death around them

simply wanting to live


The teak

is more aware

however

she laments

with me

silently


It looks like rain today

though the downpour

shall only encourage

rubbish to float

toxic boats

directionless


I won't sign a petition

that distracts our attention

from impending doom

that's not who I want to be

the books were far greater

anyway
