Under the spreading chestnut tree
the newly fallen fruit
lies
rotten.
While in the maternity wards
of hospitals all over the world,
Pregnant women
give birth to
crying infants
who
wear diapers
and
get married.
While in shipyards,
heavy metal is hammered into shiney, corroding submarines,
which are
being scrapped for junk.
And while the todays and tomorrows
become yesterdays,
I stand by
listening to Big Ben chime
and hear
Nothing.
