(that's) some lust in the time of destruction

That which
Will get
Over soon
That which is
Forever but
Not ours to keep
That that
Should have to be
Decorated and nourished
But what hunger is that
What aesthetics
Will worry over
every detail and
not a wink sleep


a cloud born free
in the widest sky
will gather water
only to rain out
and that is
the end of it
in the fitness of things
what is then
saving for
the rainy day I think


tremors shake
waves crash
people die


True globalization hasn’t stopped at the disasters. That we’ve heard. And have even seen manmade ones cause destruction of fantastic proportions across the lands. But the contrast between what nature wreaks and what man hath wrought lies at the moment 150 miles off tokyo. Tsunami, colossal, terrible swept away much that had been carefully put together. However, despite the scale of the crisis, as such it was going to be confined to japan. But the radioactive leak fears are proving to be something else. Apart from the panicked reaction it has triggered off among opponents of nuclear power who have been galvanized into greater agitation on the basis of the cold evidence in japan, it also made me look up to the sky to see if it was going to rain because I got texted a warning about there being a chance of radioactive ash or something in the rainwater so please use a umbrella. There.
