Popious
by John Shumaker
Popious
a questionable overseas corpse
well language has a different slant sometimes
ya have a world gone silent
on so many things
a soul crying for love
for nurturing
for sustenance
Mother Earth
saying
“care”
for your loved ones,
for friends,
for community
Community gone split from its Commons
by developers, contractors, real estate agents
Banksters, insane Hospital CEO'S carving up central city neighborhoods
smashing down with Caterpillar bulldozers just like in Palestine
noble, venerated old homes in old traditional neighborhoods
so their hospital can have another unneeded concrete mausoleum they call “parking lot”
in their insane worship of the automobile
imagine that
concrete a KNOWN cause of global warming
a CARcinogen on the planet
well we had popious
someone we all thought was decent when we were kids
we were told every day so
Pope Pius
who had questionable dealings with Nazi Germany
we weren't told so when we were kids
ah Popious
a questionable overseas corpse
and Mother Earth says Love One Another
Love Your Selfe
Love Each Other
Love the creatures
Love the critters
Love the Rivers
Love the Forests
Love the Oceans
Love the Prairies
Love the Mountains
Love the deserts
Love the Plains
Love the Moraines
Love the Canyons
Love Trails
Love the Arctic
Love the Tropical
Love the Temperate
Love the Equatorial
Love the Rainforest
Love the subarctic
Love the Coral reefs
Love Polynesia
Love Micronesia
Love Archipalego
Love Fjords
Love Islands
Love Peninsula
Love Estuary
Love Wilderness
Love Refuge
Love Sanctuary
Love Finned Ones
Love Winged Ones
Love Four Leggeds
