Ask the Butterflies: New and Selected Poems

ASK THE BUTTERFLIES All children hear about how caterpillars spin inside cocoons come out as butterflies. And children learn of Jesus who died was put inside a tomb that opened for us his life revived. The Monarch butterflies now face extinctions fate because the corporate lies make greed inflate. Profits mean more than lives of people plants; those words and deeds doom fish beehives. flowers birds. They make poisons to sell to kill unwanted weeds and insects but dont tell all those it feeds. They poison water earth destroy drill and spill oil plastic waste for wealth take health and kill. All like Monsanto liars in power who truth resist all climate change deniers hear scientists. Ask the butterflies as now they fly away before the last one dies and hear them say: We are passing away you are passing away all are passing away to Judgment Day.
