CULTURES? YEP!
Not unlike an Algebraic Formula or Equation -
The Left Side Must Equal the Right Side - Balance!
The Earth, 'Mother Nature' - Once had That!
Then - Enter MAN ... Stage Left ...
The Culture of: Asininity - Stupidity - Avarice -
DEVASTATION ... Thy Name is MAN!

“All Things Bright And ... Ugly”
© - Tom Hyland - 11/23/10
WAR !
“And the Bombs Bursting in Air...”
Certainly Bright!
People - Wounded, Maimed, Murdered ...
Certainly Ugly!
NEON LIGHTS !
“On Broadway - on Broadway ...”
Certainly Bright!
People - Pick-Pockets, Paupers, Prostitutes ...
Certainly Ugly!
CARS !
Shiny, Aero-Dynamic, High-Speed, Glistening Beauties ...
Certainly Bright!
Gas-Guzzling - CO2 Belching - Ozone Destroyers ...
Certainly Ugly!
AIR !
“All I Need is the Air that I Breathe ...”
Certainly Bright!
Polluted - Chemicals - CO2 and Diesel Fumes ...
Certainly Ugly!
WATER !
Glistening Three-Fourths of the Earth’s Surface ...
Certainly Bright!
“Water, Water Everywhere - but Not a Drop to Drink!”
Certainly Ugly!
FIRE !
Crackling Logs and Embers in the Hearth ...
Certainly Bright!
Jet Fuel Exploding in the Twin Towers ...
Certainly Ugly!
EARTH !
“For The Beauty of The Earth ...”
Certainly Bright!
Feral - Finite - Frivolous - Futile - Man ...
Certainly Ugly!

Stark, harsh, and very real; your contrasting thoughts and images truly awaken the reader, Tom. Thank you. Love and peace to you,
