Lawrence Hall
Dispatches for the Colonial Office
Darwinianism Stalks the Suburbs
God
giveth the earth the good green grass to grow
An
unceasing samsara of life and death
Catalogues
of life in their millions of forms
Work
out their mandalas of being in that sea
Winds
weave waving forests of tender blades
Chlorophyll
makes magic from water and light
The
apex predator is the lowly bacterium
Humbling
at last great glorious carnivores
And
there the eternal cycles of seed and sower
Are shredded
on Saturdays by a suburban lawn mower
