Eye Spy

You watch, witness
silent, half obscured
for human indifference

You see, suffer
ignominy of depletion
the poverty of souls
the mindless plundering
of unfathomed riches

We watch, wary
of the end of days
the last hurrah
the final straw
Yet choose blood guilt
but not atonement

We see, stricken
reflected
through your mute, colourless eyes
Armageddon of our own making
