ALREADY PERISHED

ALREADY PERISHED

Ricardo Antonio Garcia

If we are but tremors

waiting to erupt and expire

these volcanoes spring forth

a continuum

of evolution justifying our posterity.

Sad James Joyce, whose book

nested in the hands

of an insane man

delivered nothing in his passing.

The peaks

and valleys are our contributions

whether science or skyscrapers

our sweat equities

made mountains around us

though cave dwellers did not see

our intellect

beyond the Stone Age.

To the fruition of our advances

the Truman’s

of the World are genocidal idiots

playing the game to its bitter end.

Designed to self destruct

not one human

is above

the Spiritual Sanctum of God.

We leave our markers

as proud mankind would have us believe

fulfilling our time in our meditations.

Those with anger and mouths …

… have already perished …
