CRUELTY HAS A HUMAN HEART

by George Salamon 


Border Disorder by Jen Sorensen, TheNib, June 20, 2018


William Blake illuminated poem.




God has vanished and
Man still corrupts,
Building monuments to greed.
As he prospers, things
Die without a sigh.
Children cry, their tears
Bear witness that something
Has died without a cry.
What Phoenix can rise
Out of cold ashes
From soil planted with hate?







George Salamon lives and writes in St. Louis, MO.
