The Domino Effect of Slavery (a Sestina)
Location
The sand, the water, all so Beautiful
Recovered from a past of Ashes
Earthquakes, hurricanes, Drought,
Mother Earth filled with Rage,
Avenging the world of the Abusive
Humans; the corrupt, the reckless
And it is him, the Reckless
That strives to be Beautiful
But instead becomes Abusive
Burning his own to Ashes
With Red Whips of Rage
Sucking up all Hope, creating a Drought
And it is this Drought
That creates the Reckless
That influences the Rage
Deep within the hearts of those who were once Beautiful
But their hearts have burned to ashes
Because of the Abusive
And it is the Abusive
That influences the Drought
Throats so dry, they've become Ashes
Their minds now Reckless
No longer seeking the Beautiful
Their faces red with rage
And it is those with Rage
Who seek revenge to the Abusive
Trying to gain what was beautiful
What was destroyed by the drought
What was destroyed by the Ashes
And from the ashes rose rage
And from this, rose the abusive and reckless
And from this, rose the drought, destroying what was once beautiful
