Poetry Thursday 59 - Them

 We are not an island. The human animal is a social creature but nevertheless still a biological entity that is not above any other creature but part of the biosphere that is our Earth. 




Them

 

Why do we stare at screens,

watch shows with thousands of scenes,

read books with super stories,

depicting a myriad of human glories?

And crave more of the same,

similar takes with similar name.

 

It’s all because of them,

providing a sparkle, making a gem,

magnetic relationships are the draw,

encouraging us to beg for more.

 

From their very youngest member,

from January to December,

the way they spend time united,

with unknowable light touch delighted.

as strong as a spider’s gossamer,

and warm as the sun in summer.


Capable of actions with dazzling magic,

but with outcomes that can be tragic,

every scene written or filmed a gem,

all about interactions between them.
