JIM DUNLAP

The Inexorability of Malthusian Geometry


Decrepit and emaciated, children cry --
The world is quickly running out of room.
By the age of five, so many children die.

Their tumid bellies, hungering, deny
All emotion one bit happier than gloom.
Decrepit and emaciated, children cry.

Despair looks back from every tiny eye --
For most the future only holds a tomb.
By the age of five, so many children die.

Those pinched, mute faces wanly sigh --
As they shiver with presentiment of doom.
Decrepit and emaciated, children cry.

Shattered innocence can not imagine why
The most security they've known was in the womb.
By the age of five, so many children die.

The 'Grim Reaper' cruelly wields his scythe --
On every side more terrors loom...
Decrepit and emaciated, children cry.
By the age of five, so many children die.

'Falls' in linear ENGLISH to facilitate reading

falls come into playing blues echoes in stoned saxophones razz-ma-tazzing down their cymbellines with all the un-mapled maple leaves and fall into fall's vermilion colouring books though not in my ole' southpaw's scrawl no in a Lord's handlesswriting though how if all's alone?

'Les Chutes' version française du poème en alinéa afin de faciliter la lecture

Les chutes arrivent à jouer tant de "blues" aux échos purs de saxophones razz-ma-tazz sons selon leurs cymbellines et toutes les feuilles d'érable détachées qui sont en chutes vermeilles si si nuancées pourtant moi je ne les ai pas décrites point moi, quel Seigneur est plus discret tout seul mais quelle solitude ?
