Response to Bartholomew Barker’s Monday Poetry Prompt: SHAMELESS.
Shameless blatant misuse and abuse of mother
nature’s gifts
Consumerism fuels capitalism fuels consumerism
Fuels natural extinction
Shameless neglect and careless disregard of and
for Earths children
in pursuit of wealth and worldly trappings
Reprehensible deportment
Shameless breeding of creatures
small and smaller
great and tall
Developing new colors, new species
exotic companions
Shameless humanity given life to prosper
taken and plundered
Emptied her seas of aquatic life
Opulence squandered
Shameless me sitting on the shore
contemplating wastage
hedonistic desecration
Impotent rage
Shameless me
You have been busy writing. Couldn’t agree more with this one!
