and should the Father appear walking on the sands
(...........the Louisiana shore....)
the oil upon his feet
being a martyr for
the thousands upon thousands
of high school children
who shall face
the barren desert
we are

leaking
death

(..........we are.........)

and should the Mother appear
in our Heart

amid the dying ecology

and the middle school children
birds
and other possibly living creatures
that should be everywhere

bringing pure health
(and not "health care")

..............and should We?

MY GOD!

amid the fears and tears!

will I ever see you , just once
or once again?

are we really "here?"

and does it really "matter"
what I (or you)
think
(or feel?)
