Davenport Tomorrow
by Michael R. Burch
Davenport tomorrow ...
all the trees stand stark-naked in the sun.
Now it is always summer
and the bees buzz in cesspools,
adapted to a new life.
There are no flowers,
but the weeds, being hardier,
have survived.
The small town has become
a city of millions;
there is no longer a sea,
only a huge sewer,
but the children don't mind.
They still study
rocks and stars,
but biology is a forgotten science ...
after all, what is life?
Davenport tomorrow ...
all the children murmur through vein-streaked gills
whispered wonders of long-ago.

Multiplication, Tabled
by Michael R. Burch
for the Religious Right
“Be fruitful and multiply”—
great advice, for a fruitfly!
But for women and men,
simple Simons, say, “WHEN!”

in dream-light, still
you are incredibly wasteful
syrup-mauve soaked,
you drank whatever
cared enough to ferment
itself.
the entire fester-rot of
flesh growing & decaying
with time & ****** fingers
believe in yourself,
& see where it gets
you

Take me to the moon
I want to listen to the silence
And walk where I can’t fall
Build me a rocket
Want to go where life makes sense
No one to talk to, no one to call
Leave a Planet
A hundred billion bodies full
No sign of stopping the grow
It’s not like rabbits
You can’t control with a cull
Humans reap what they sow and sow
Living in a bubble
A thousand years from now
No trees, concrete will rule
Build me a rocket
I am heading into space for my final bow
Yes, you may laugh, may think I’m a fool
But I’m a spaceman
I am going to fly into space
Going to take my chances in the voids
Find the peace
Leave behind this disillusioned human race
Moon, population one, how will that look in the tabloids.

The solution to overpopulation is here; abandon morality.
Save the Earth by letting loose humanity,
if it feels good?
if it makes money?
if it makes banks money,
wall street
share
hold
it
then.

Eight billion people,
call this planet home.
Eight billion people,
all of them alone.
Arbitrary borders,
divide and define.
Who belongs where,
who's on which side.
Propaganda and lies,
hatred and fear,
accompany those borders.
"You're not 'From Here'".
They shout and they rant,
"Protect us from harm!
Protect us from monsters!
who work on our farms..."
Save us from humans!
That are really just the same,
but they look a little different,
or have a "funny name".
Every human is flawed,
We dig our own graves,
Eight Billion people,
Who do not want to be saved.
We have come so far,
but we have to do more,
to be better than primates,
looking for war.
Eight billion minds,
That think only of one.
And how they can prosper,
alone in their fun.
Religion and Government,
forms of control.
That tell you to fight,
for country and soul.
The heathens that march,
against the life that you made,
must be destroyed!
It's the only way!
Build us our bombs,
our weapons in space,
expand our borders,
war is a race!
Money and lead,
power and greed,
These are the things,
we are taught to need.
Complicated desires,
from animalistic wants,
pollute the whole planet,
by "draining the swamp".
We call ourselves modern,
With our dollars and glass,
but our future is as dismal,
as our most recent past.
A species divided,
is one doomed to fail.
And there's so much to lose,
with a world this frail.
Are we together?
Or alone in a crowd.
A decision must be made.
and it has to be now.

Human beings are great
At destroying their environment
"The dumping of highly radioactive water
Into the Pacific Ocean
Constitutes a potential trigger
To a process of global
Radioactive contamination
Radioactive elements have not
Only been detected in the
Food chain in Japan, radioactive
Rain water has been
Recorded in California"
And we just don't have the resources
For all these people
I propose a 1 child per family rule
And make it for every nation
This earth just can't support
All these people....

Earths anxiety; she feels too crowded her heart beat racing; volcanos erupt and the ground shakes. She's just trying to get rid of all the waste
