David and Goliath

David and Goliath
Why did you not come along? Were we not brothers in arms? Did you not see the signs?
Did we not know how to stay- safe in our pristine place?
Will the air breathe back its rich design of harmonious Holocene pastures - Innocent coughing of wilderness change?
This is gorilla time- or no time at all-
With hands gently folded on old leather face-
Great black beast- curious and fierce,
You have swung free from our brutal brain’s dilemma Come play with me-
Please romp and stomp on the still wild place
Please glance at me
Down the millions of eons flashing past in your stare Can you please-
Please say- say- I forgive?
