A UNIVERSE

A UNIVERSE

give me a Universe
where our is still blue
and the sea
is not raw sewage

give me a world
where Sylvia did not
stick her head
in a gas oven
to commit suicide

give me a world
where there is not
by some other name
the practice
of slavery

give me a world
where there is no nuclear threat
giving us
the chance
to survive,
perhaps thrive
