Serpent at Sunrise

                                                   Serpent at Sunrise

Dr Abe V Rotor

                                    A streak of fiery cloud hangs on the Eastern horizon as seen from

the author's residence at Lagro, QC.

 

It hangs menacing over the empty horizon 

     this streak of fire in the sky;

     where it came from it's hard to deny,

but from the dreaded land of Armageddon.  

 

It came from the home, car and furnace;

     factories and burning forests;

     little volcanoes thought harmless 

scorching our dear Mother Earth's face.   

 

I stood there to say my morning grace,

     Hello sun! Hello Day!  

     Now, what have I to pray?

Would my Creator accept my praise? ~
