The
world’s shattered porcelain, and on it
lie
the eggshells from someone else’s omelette
-
ours are a hodgepodge mix we inherit
and
eggs are now too expensive to get
while
butter’s priced itself out of the market.
We
don’t need a war to go out and kill
-
allowed in peacetime, in places peaceful.
A
perceived wrong, someone being uncivil
long
ago and the irresistible pull
of
the trigger - the settlement in full.
The
world's just shattered porcelain and eggshells
glinting
in the sun, and broken spectacles.
I like the repitition of "the world's just shattered porcelain ..." It surely is.
ReplyDeleteRepetitions are supposed to drive the message home...do our politicians get it? Never mind how many times it's repeated. Glad you liked reading.

Way too many omelettes...<3
DeleteProfoundly true. Which shatters my heart. Which is eggshell thin.
ReplyDeleteSo tired of all the breaking and broken stuff! I wish they'd clean up! If they can't make anything whole, at least they should stop getting in the way.
Deleteshattered. That sums it up
ReplyDeleteShattered at more than one level.
DeleteDefinitely NIla. Shattered porcelain covers it. Shattering.
ReplyDeleteHi Denise, 90% of me is in total freak out mode, but 10% is still refusing to give up hope!
DeleteHi Nila - we're living in more desperate times ... shattered lives - which hurt so much ... let alone the eggshell covered brain - suffering as well ... and then those not hurting per se - but brain overwhelmed at the stupidity ... we need leaders at all levels of societies ... cheers Hilary
