Poems

Disclosure

Disclosure of a kind
Trees and seals and dolphins and whales
Superfluous to western appetite
Earth water air
Arid now and stagnant and vile
Black rage of injustice and discontent
Voracious
Greed and gold a constant
Devouring
Eradicating language and candour
Insensitive claiming more
Ergo anguish for some
Hollywood for the rest.

Adrian Mauriks, July 2000
