Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is Earth Day, which is celebrated tomorrow, April
22nd.
Today’s poem is a poem for Earth Day about the
self-destructiveness of greed.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Even the Earth knows well the market must
Align itself with something more than greed.
Ravenous monsters on the future feed,
Their fangs ripping at Earth's delicate crust.
How might one profit from an empty sea,
Drawing dividends from dying streams?
Although one might find riches at the seams,
Yet none will prosper once the Earth is scree.
