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
