If Nature Erected Walls

if nature erected walls
to keep foreign plants off native soil
dug the foundation deeply
to make evil roots recoil
built the barriers high
and
higher
could she prevent alien seeds from crossing
in their clingy flight on winged things
would she try
or
would she,
the master artist,
paint the vivid colors of biodiversity
and be glad for her expanding pallet
then
I wonder
if nature erected walls
to protect her vulnerable places
would she build herself a chastity-belt fence
to halt earth-stripping exposure
from lusty, mechanical hands
and
stop
fracked-oil raping
that leave her lovely portraits
smothered in charcoal hues
rent
and
ruined
I wonder
if nature erected walls
what part would she ban

I am an angry Sicilian, African, Corsican, & Pawnee Indian Male, who has a nasty attitude, an evil disposition, and an ornery and opinionated character. I guess you can label me the last Angry, Militant, Black man In America. I am not a writer, or one who cares about grammar, punctuation, or if what I write sounds pretty. I am not political anymore. Obama let me down and disappointed me greatly. So I moved from the USA and have given up on all politicians. PERIOD. This blog's focus is now and forever The ARTS. I am dedicated to promoting Artist, Poets, Writers, Authors, Dancers, Musicians, Singers. ANYone who has a talent and blogs about that talent. Art is what might possibly save this planet. I still work as a Social Justice Warrior and will continue to post things about Social Justice. Namaste.
