Nothing New Under the Sun

Poem by Seppo Kaarlo Odell

Nothing New Under the Sun

republican democratic
supersize s.u.v.
soccer den mothers!
Your thoughts are safe with me
imagination is just too scary for you!

the wise Woman
the ancient eyes that guide
buried
somewhere in your house.
Isis hides
between the pages of Town&Country,
culture has halted
stopped!

you know everything is connected!
bad breathing air
bad mothers’ milk
melting glaciers
dead forest
confused cells.

stir yourself up…pyramid Priestess!
Awaken your sons!
So busy creating
more
greed culture
frat house beers
on the lawn…
the date rape babes
graduating
asleep in the dorm
class after class
while the Earth turns into Mars.
Come on, Mom…!
