Sustainable
eating eggshells
for calcium –
crushed to mush,
watered down
is this the future,
we pray for?
wanting not to waste
as waste fills our needs
Loop
in your life,
you will have something that you cherish
and you will nurture it,
tend to it,
love it,
call it beautiful
because you made it beautiful
that’s human nature
in that same life,
some people will come along
destroy what you made,
rip it,
tear it,
crush it,
stomp on it,
marr it,
turn it ugly…
because that’s human nature
