number by Venezuela
numbers rounded
so far
as six thousand five hundred rescued
seventeen thousand wounded
three thousand five hundred have died
yet
they are numbers needed for
aid groups
and to give perspective there while working
there on this
alone
and is there judgment
and
forestall it while
the human toll is taken
and
before and after
count
addressed
and who’s there
and many
and
many will be going
and I don’t be
I have to
say
and from a distance
well
I pray
and have given money toward relief
though I’m old and poor and
my family gives me grief
while I should go
on
and they are giving all the while
and fiscal easier
as well
and there’s material in prayer and that’s the point
and it isn’t
but
to give to help
however that is healthy
honest
toward their lives
and
sanctity
having been made by God and natural indifference
notwithstanding
yet
is the God of love and has directed us
by that aspect
even
alone
or through which to send
everything
we send to these in every status
of
the need and our
response

East of Eden
Earthquakes split (6.4,
7.4), volcanoes feared
In a paradisal land that
Has such virtue in
Nature and humanity
Anger of nature, the
Patron’s rightful wrath
For it has been a place
Of crushing empire, too
Or is it in imitations of
The west, of surrendering
Ancient code, ritual, and
Ceremony to impose
New rule of the
Incorporated world
Residents sleeping inside
Comb-shaped cells like
Unfeeling bee-keeping
Perilous excesses in
Manufacturing and energy
Production, making Japan
Truly like the rest
In the wake of nature’s
Lightning crevassing the
Land in whatever form
Is invoked, attitudes
And disposition are not
Enough to take on
Now
Our neighbors need
And though we might
Cry that we’re not able
Or we are too far
No excuse is enough
Our neighbors need
