The Indictment
Poetry Most Critical
by Duane Robert Pierson


This poetry indicts the human species. These poems derive from the poet’s observation of life on a daily basis. The tragedy appears omnipresent. We observe our species as it grows and devours, guilty of ever increasing greed and cruelty, watching as it incrementally expands its niche in the biosphere to the detriment of all other living things. Not only do its numbers increase, but also so does a rate of pervading expansiveness incremental in its dynamic. Nothing is static, no beauty or value is found or created that it is not immediately exploited until it becomes ugly rather than remain esthetically pleasing.

The poet concludes that we need to become better people. Therein lies optimism, our hope.
