Can a photo be so ugly
as to capture the blood
and tears of man…?
Wretched life, this some have.
Photography !
Their pain depicted in frame
now your pain of indignation,
or disbelief…
Could it be we just need relief…
Thus, there no need to grieve…
I’d rather see something pretty;
something beholden of spring…
I’d rather look upon poppies,
delicate, pink poppies, flourishing.
Recalling their scent just by
gazing at them…
This bouquet would be a
pleasant offering, I’d say.
But just as the flower’s
will not last…
some pictures only offer aghast.
Photography !
