Implications of Doing Nothing

What we seem to have here
my dear
is a new social documentary
depicting an
anguished, sigh of our times ..
Yet still one
should not try, to deny there is
a certain innocent
beauty in all of the rubble that
so very many
casualties casually leave behind
in the rust and the
dirt and the blue caustic smoke ..
That might otherwise
burn old skin from young bones
and make each
one of us either go crazy or blind ..

The last 3 lines especially adds a brilliant finish Nev. The rest of it is too real to comment on... except to say time changes nothing... nothing at all x
