Heritage Tree Art

I sing the dirge of the Narra and Acacia,

     heritage trees our children shall miss

at the verge of extinction like Sequoia;

     save some epitaphs and memories.

If only art can take over their absence,

     in monuments and legends they live,

but where is sanctity, what is reverence,

     what can man to his Creator give?

GMO Tame and Wild

Dr Abe V Rotor

  Genetically Modified Organisms In our midst,  AV Rotor 2023

Splicing genes of the tame and the wild,

     progeny from the laboratory;

whatever glory to pest and pet combined,

     affront to man’s rationality.

Could Pied Piper the hero come to the task,

     save us from folly, greed and remiss

for our children and their future we ask,

     before they vanish in our midst. ~
