##


we sit by the fire and recall old lovers


//                             //

( now that death is here )

•

Oh yes

""""""""


Amid the hungry children      Crying

the angry dying refugees

We


Sit so lovelessly

•


The day !

( Ashamed of our very presence )

Stumbles along

Old forgotten paths

Seeking some

Remnant sadhu or saint

""


in shadows

We weep

We who could of saved the world !

•


Beyond even despair

We sit by the fire and recall old lovers


(  whom we've betrayed )

And the possibilities we passed on by


( in our lust and greed )


Now it is over


Death is here


As our memories fade

And love is gone at last
