Nature As Playwright

Airplane

You may think of yourself as unique

the one and only when in fact you are

merely a character actor undistinguished

a straw in a haystack of others as useful

as yourself as a fill-in for a great unfolding

epic entertaining to its creator distinguished

by an unwholesome curiosity in responses

engendered to imposed situations. Observing

the results among the chaff of creation's

staged monumental episodes in an evolving

drama where its principals act on impulse

bypassing  reason for impetuosity in an

atmosphere reflective of base emotions the

chaff themselves become spectators as sinister

events unfold and they reel with disbelief

while their complacent world is eviscerated

to satisfy the whims of dictators, tyrants and

sadists. The while their creator delivers minor

distractions like global viruses to threaten and

extinguish lives, followed by narcissistic 

despots slavering after territorial expansion

relishing the fear and loathing inspired by

a cosmic disruption in life expectancy.
