Not hidden, available
for all to see,
the things we need the least,
confront us, visibly.
Drought in Ethiopia, obviously
Famine in Uganda, unnecessarily.
Genocide in Tibet, historically.
Disease in Haiti, rampantly.
Devastation in Japan, climactically.
Now Alabama too equally sadly.
A $434,000 gown,
an $80,000 cake,
a Rolls Royce ride to town,
a $1,000,000 ring,
London’s $50,000,000 bill,
$6,000 suites,
and $500,000 flowers.
Not hidden, available
for all to see,
the things we need the least,
confront us, visibly.
Are you kidding me?
