Day 25 - Prompt : A View - 2 poems

The view
From my train; the soil tilled and watered perfect rows ready for planting,
Early mornings, workers bent over, no time to watch the sun rising,
Artichoke plants, fat hairy stems, with giant protective leaves,
Hundreds upon hundreds of heavy heads bobbing in the breeze.

My view
Tainted and tarnished with a rose-tinted hue,
That for every tree taken that we'd plant another anew,
Water, food, a roof over your head, basic rights so true,
That the very rich must pay their taxes in all countries they live -like as if we never knew!,
If someone is drowning like the rice does in a stew,
Sinking in depression or the sea, do we stand and watch as they do?
Where is the human ? Wrapped up in the legalities of international waters a heady, unsteady, brew,
If you want to pray to your god(s) then please go right on ahead,
But can't we build churches with mosques and synagogues all houses, all god(s) instead?
For right there I think our unification will finally begin to be fed,
We don't see that we are all just the same this should be enough to hold us together without enforced societal glue,
A conversation from love of our fellow human but then what do I know for this is only my point of view,


Thanks for the prompt!
