the children of science
It is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.
Albert Camus

Like the children of artists and leaders
We have protested long and loud
Raising the voice of dissent
To stop wars and ban bombs
To ride ourselves of nuclear reactors
For people to stop shitting on other people
We need improved and free education
Free healthcare
To do away with fracking and clearcutting
For everyone to have shelter and food
We are the children of truck drivers
And senators
The children of science
And goddamn you
You better listen
__________
At age 67 my skin flakes away
Right around the bridge of my generous nose
I can lightly touch a fingernail to it
And it flakes away like tiny bits of snow
It’s ok with me
I understand
Beneath my flaky old skin
Is the hiding place of my ghost
And he is waiting for my life to end
To finally flake away
So that his life can begin
__________
Who poisoned the sky with the language of hate?
Poisoned the earth and the sea?
The language of hate
Is yet another pandemic.
And citizen, it spreads like those germs
That you breathe.
