Flight 5: When Men go Wild. Acrylic on Canvas 14 x 14 (Red )
Now on Exhibit: The Cutting World of James M. Frase-White, Emporium Gallery and Framing, South Berwick, Maine now through September 30, 2017
When Men Go Wild
When men go Wild
wildlife go
to shelter safe from sight
& sound
far beyond
explosive man
When bombs fall
guns erupt spewing fans
of sinister unending lead
to target foe or innocent
the savage sophisticate
have no aim as they play
the lethal game of death
(now using flying children’s toys
a chosen wit of the merciless)
When guardians no longer
safeguard
join lords of legion
to purify the motherland
the call goes to each side
butchers for their gods
patriots mouth malicious creed
While humane voices
keel the cry of death
home, mother home they cry
solders sneer with gorey glory
the frightful fight of lords
thinking they, the masters knights blowing
forth the wind of death, exploding, gassing
loving their destruction, the gods of wrath
jesus & mohammed once again arise
guilt free pawning the fruit of birth
into the vacuum of the void
the barrel of mortality
master, fate, the murder, legal
of anyone
anyone
in the way
While flow aflutter to freedom flies
the birds on wing
the burrowed ones who felt
the rumbling pulse of living earth
low w/in their sacred caves
they scurry, scurry on their way
for safer havens blest
the fleet foot flee
from man’s toy of death
that sound and vibrate
in ears and core of heart
forced to migrate
out of season
to find a season safe
not a noah ark of godly choice
but their own godly mind
banal
evil
man
self-destructs
his fevered pace amuck
violent peace in death
no more
World without man
World without mend
No men
No men to mend
Law has changed
When the planet’s growing pains
Give birth again
alter life’s expected role
slowly without men
who raced to death
wildlife once again
shall live
again
go free
once
again
breathe
fly
free
