Socialist Sonnet No. 177

Burning Issue

 

City of Angels is burning,

As the rich watch their real estate

Consumed by a changing climate.

Are they capable of learning

That their way of living has stalled?

Because their world can’t be sustained,

Pools of profit need to be drained,

Common humanity recalled.

The not so rich, the very poor

Also must act in this same scene

To abolish, at last, what’s been

Fuelling the problem. Profits soar

While the free market keeps trading,

Even as the earth’s degrading.

 

D. A.
