The Cup Glowing in the Dark

The cup is glowing in the dark.

What an amazing thing.

I don't know if I'm hallucinating.

Or the cup is made with radium.

 

All I know is that I've been poisoned.

And the whole world is poisoned too.

And I am standing here making a libation

when I really don't know what to do.

I don't have any other tools.

 

We protest and march, Kayak and bark.

And the Powers ignore us on a good day.

Meanwhile the cup is glowing right in front of me.

and that glow isn't in a good way.

 

Will my skeleton glow when they lay me to my rest?

Will any pure places remain, where life can take refuge?

Do they really mean to contaminate everyone and everything?

are they really such fools?
