   In Times of Change
Landfill. Out of sight.
The waste of our lives
Forced on the earth.
Outfall. Unwanted discharge.
Our drains rob the water
Of the life it carries.

We look away and talk it down
It isn’t clear, some disagree.
With open eyes we fail to see
Yellow of our stolen rivers
Black of the cheated sea.

We long again for simpler times
When we could go our ways.
But that’s all changed,
We must adjust
To these unsettling days.

Unease and doubt prevail.
We look behind and think ahead:
What days are gone,
What days are yet to come?
