A LITTLE FURTHER ALONG THIS DRIVE
A little further along this
canal road drive between the
Mall and the nearby motel,
I see some nursery workers finish
planting small banana trees
and various other fruit bearing
small bushes in what
was previously a farmed field.
Supposedly this acreage is in
line for purchase as one day
casino housing land. But, today
I see the Sold and Under Contract
signs which signal edges of
the property have vanished
I suspect due to some political
activities. It is weird these
days the ways of small town
wind-blown money favors and
other such self-serving activities.
Ah, I continue to wonder
whatever became of the harmony
between man and nature, man and
beast, and why now that seems
so very long ago, so very long….
I suspect since we have disrupted
that natural connection, that it is
no wonder there is so very often
such disconnection between
so many humans with too frequent
violent outcomes. Oh, if only
I might go back a few decades
and become the politician I admired,
one able to speak for others, able
to influence others in ways pointing
to real solutions, handling real practical
needs with logical results and success.
I wonder, just where is that person today!
