SPRKS IN CSF: SMOG
SMOG
This day dawns hushed,
The red fruit of the haze
Floats low on the horizon,
Wisps of burnt nature smart my eyes,
Nature's revenge ,its own singed skin;
Scars the earth though slow,
As you flay the forests bare in wider sweeps,
And soups the oceans in plastic,
Natures revenge , it coats my air.
Maybe I will remember it tomorrow,
May be I will stop to think again...

SPRKS IN CSF: Asthma, Flashbacks and Gods….
Asthma, Flashbacks and Gods….
On Asthma, flashbacks and Gods….
Flashbacks, they come un-invited. A little girl cowering
under the covers, stuffing her shirt into her mouth to stop the sound that
escape unannounced…Yet you fear ,trying to place a comforting hand on her, you
fear that her attempts to gain air through the sobs will be heard beyond these
walls, unleashing further wrath in the one in the next room. You again pray
that sleep has closed off that other
parent in the next room. Through her
sobs she lets you know that which you and she knows inherently… “I cant help it,
I am trying , but I cant stop crying”, and then bigger, deeper sobs…
The air that is trying to oxygenate the deeper far alveoli
gets stuck, as the mucus fills them, those airways stay tightly closed ,a wheeze is all that can escape along the interspace of those heart wrenching
sobs…You silently pray, then you carry the frustration in you that ‘God can’t hear’.
All the Gods cannot change is the reality before you, when
humans choose to produce the suffering.
Natasha, Tony or Jana, none can escape that which is before
them every day…that suffering, the suffering that which becomes part of them,
they carry the weight of what they have seen and heard, they just walk one day
to the next… Their lives are forever modified, they shake but no, that which
left the scars deep within their minds can never be shaken off... Never will
they shake off that heaviness…
Providence is just another misguided term for where the
souls fall, who your caretakers in this life be , all set to chance and that same which seals your destiny. As mothers, fathers, children
and ancestors course through their lives, destinies are weaved in. Here we humans
and all universe interconnect, all just a factor of chance …
