The Caged Prophet

Published

By Lynn Ockersz

Though ‘cribbed and confined’,

To a torrid tropical zoo,

You are still ‘Blazing Bright’,

With that striking majesty,

Rendered timeless in verse,

By Bards of world renown,

But if we dwell awhile,

On your searing gaze,

We’ll see in its depths,

A heavy, lingering sadness,

For a world smitten badly,

By human greed and arrogance,

That’s making destructive wars,

Over what’s left of Nature,

A frontier of self-annihilation.
