Ambushed oasis...Subtopia...In drag...


Poem Artwork

AMBUSHED OASIS


 


 


Tennessee Valley


I-565


Huntsville Alabama


Picket fence exterior


Jovial existence


On the fringe of normalcy


NASA technology


Silver ribbons and bows


Ambushed oasis


Subtopia


In drag


Meth infested slums


Hardscrabble dismay


Acrid Dragons breath


Historic Governors Drive


Raw reality


Festering mediocrity


Life


What we tolerate


Empty


Overflowing


No point in eggshell tiptoe


Truth


Cannibalistic


Uncivil to some


Lightning bolt of promise


God lives


Reaching out


Eyes afire


Engulfs compassionate people


Impatient


With rampant negativity


Arise


Go in peace


Relay divine perception


Impact


Cultivate


Embrace

I like the message of this poem; it covers a myriad of essences from raw to sublime.

Great connection of words!

This has shades of the "downtown eastside" in Vancouver (BC, Canada). Compelling "stuff," Bill. Thank you. Love and peace,
