Pulp Nature

by Rula Shin

found foulest of mud
feeding on Earth,
saw Hope
doused in blood
still raw with birth

along her lit paths
whirling with dust,
men
rape to reap cash,
EarthÂ’s heaving bust

drank darkest of mud
along her lit paths,
Hope,
Love's heaving bust,
poised for a laugh

face deep down in crust,
Rape plunders fair Earth,
NO
man before dust
stays raw after birth

'NO man before dust stays raw after birth', well, this is the reason that this earth, despite the 'lit paths', isn't a good place to dwell upon. Those 'feeding on earth'..'rape to reap cash', obviously disrupting the ever growing ray of creation. This speaks of the sensitivity of the poet.
