Catastrophe of a Lifetime

I wear a million

Blankets to keep me warm, though I

Have the grass as home.

The fever has got Mom

She'll last no more than a day

Her veins bulge like stones

Pencils thrown away

Computers dominate us

They ruin culture

My feet are growing

I though have shrunk one half inch

My hearts learns each day

Today we're a mess

Rather should I say confused?

Words create bruises

Someone new stepped in-

Side my house without a word

He is my brother

No one is ready

What will come next is brutal

It's the genocide

Waters toss updown

Sforzando and spiccato

All articulation

In those blue waters,

Are mighty, broad, blue mountains.

Avalanches on fish

Gales keep me cold

Mom will stay until tonight

She'll put up a fight

Though I can't stay warm

These blankets bring much comfort

Distress is lifted
