recusant

from nothing comes
the strength to build.

tilling fields, harnessed energy
demonstrates what power the body
generates when cooperating
with nature.

so why the destruction?
glass needs to be made, melted and glazed,
not shattered for needless entertainment.
where are the constructive voices?

the day does arrive for protest,
the hitching up of like minds into a corpus,
a movement, a cyclone of change
that they will vilify, oh yes.

there are such causes.
presented with desertion,
engage thy brothers and sisters and take up the
spades needed to evade desolation.

with all that wealth,
all that privilege,
all those shedding layers of sweat and tears,
assemble and harvest.
