Photography developed

the world reflected in negative

on bitter truths that held high morals

low dealings

sharp

clear to their purpose

camera obscura now recording progress!

Hidden

mystical people

tradition held sway

culture and play

West captured their colour

failed to see their loss

focus on riches 

educate the masses

learn nothing

colour tv

colour photography

communication

dictation

know it all

In ages past no spectacles made vision clear

I'd smash them

Blind and bind our tongues

till we smell the rot we weave

till we feel the pain conceived

and hear it.

Still life waits

hope has wings.
