The Rapture

They say the Rapture
will come on a day
in May

while bikers pedal
to save the world
and the water
drips chemical;

while hatred sings
from car windows
and the politicians
aren’t people;

while movie monsters
make too much
and entire towns
go without;

while carbon footprints
fill with blood
and the scientists
are mute;

while oil’s taken
from other places
and lost again
at sea;

while people stroll
under falling petals
and toddlers laugh
at nothing.

They say the Rapture
will come on a day
in May –

nobody believes them.

Why would that
Thoughtform In The Sky
want anything to do
with us?
