Poetry – Life – A poem about the web of life
Life
Somehow we humans like to put ourselves apart, on a higher rung of the ladder than anything else.
We think we are better and more highly evolved.
We are not.
We are not the biggest.
We are not the most complex.
We may not even be the most intelligent.
All organisms on this planet started from the same cell. We have all, no matter how simple or complex, evolved for exactly the same length of time.
We are no more evolved that the simplest bacterium.
All life in this rich pageantry on this planet is interconnected in a complex web that sustains us all.
It is that web that we are now damaging.
It is the equivalent of deliberately taking out the intravenous drip.
Life
Green sap,
Red blood,
Blue blood
And plasm.
Mix them up
With membranes,
Tissues
And a spasm.
Grow them
On a planet
In an interlocking
Network.
For feeding
In a web
Is the way
That life works.

We can talk with syntax, re-figure and dis-figure our environment, we have consciousness, we have plastic bags and/or paper, we even have Trump.
Yes – sadly we even have Trump. Sometimes I’m in favour of landfill.
Good idea.
Dump the Trump!!
