RIVER'S MOUTH...

RIVER'S MOUTH...

Briskly flowing river

Meeting stagnant lake

And the innocence of herbs!

River running smoothly

Turbulent at feud

With turbid lake

Living can be a pathway...

What is - at long last - at stake?

The lake's sonancy -

Idle gab of frogs

Overfed, pampered,

The algae inertia, buoyancy

Ceaselessly hampered

By futile tadpoles' busyness

Speedily endangered

By iminent, snapping jaws

Of untamed reptiles

Barbarous crocodiles...

And, vicious rapacity

Of bloodsucking leeches!

The landlocked water's

Odor and sonancy

The putrid stench!

Poisonous stagnancy

The deadly embrace

Of inured slaves

Of slaughterous bacteria...

Rootless euphoria

Of cold-blooded

Vertebrates...

The hungry sound-making

Blood inebriated alligators

Bloodsucking terminators...

Their endless

Unruliness, beastliness...

At long last...

The Beast's ovation...

Life can be a pathway

To dual death...

I could hear the water and smell the journey into the rivers mouth. Even though the trees seemed tall they must have been river birches because of how the sunlight came through. Thank you and God bless

Dr. Kardas, This is another fabulous masterpiece! We have re-read it a few times, having a good laugh & understandable sadness. A clever contraposing of the briskly flowing river & the stagnant lake... and the "innocence of herbs!" Lots of great surprises here! The use of metaphoric words & phrases is brilliant! By God's grace, you are a gifted & skillful satirist!
Too many people walking among us who are spiritually dead, yet they only fear the physical death. Death can be an entrance to life or to double death - body & soul. Scary material but must be drilled into everyone's brain! Thanks again & God bless!
