The Lawn Moth

 

I watch the lawn moth struggle

in the drizzle of insecticide

that the lawn may live

 

I have the right

to say one life shall live

one life shall die

 

It tries again to take off

tries to leave the blade

to escape the poison

it struggles to fly

but I keep the drizzle steady

it is the enemy

 

then it struggles no more

that the lawn may live

 

I kill to let live

 

No God designed this

It is a wicked arrangement

 

 

September 1996
