The State of Things
We poison the well and wonder why
There is no drinking water in the tap.
We kill the bees and wonder why
There is no food on supermarket shelves.
We ravage the earth and wonder why
The floods and fires come.
We prise open the box and wonder why
Pandora's pandemics pour forth.
We close our eyes
And wonder who to blame.
