Shallow Pond Extraction

The tightening bonds of a shallow pond
politics of a face down child
drowning sounds of a hungry world
politics of war and trade float cross those country miles

Conundrums of choice with ethics of James Joyce
stop making sense for eternity rents
moral fusions with war’s stark contusions
choices to rescue distant fading voices

Communication frauds to ipod applause
AI deceits with relations of eloquence
what conventions would save in the 808 maze
new shoes from muck of blood splatter

Abstract decisions bring adroit incisions
to save life’s implicit breath force
while the wild contends
thoughts to act in time end.

This poem was inspired, in part, by Peter SInger’s ‘Shallow Pond’ moral philosophy idea, contemporary world politics and 808 bass music.
