Taliesin Today 
I am the poisons in the air you breathe leading to chronic lung disease.
I am the smog which blinds the vision of that which was meant to be seen.
I am the liter along the roadways from humans who have no pride.
I am the boarded up vacant buildings and houses of a society grown decadent.
I am the stench of urine and feces in the buildings long since deserted.
I am the scum on the water which has killed all life beneath.
I am the poisons in the water you drink because it is cheaper for industries to so pollute.
I still exist in the reds, pinks, and oranges of the evening sunset.
I still exist as the hawk of dawn soaring in the pure morning sky.
I still exist as the clear bubbling mountain brook which feed the larger rivers.
I still exist as the flourescent, green shoot, breaking through the earth to touch the light for the first time.
I still exist as the full bloomed flower in all of its glory.
Which do you prefer?
Which do you choose?
