Being the Weather

we are the weather,
each destructive gust
of every violent storm;

we shun suicide
but are killing ourselves
to live;

our choices -
our luxurious desires -
destroy us

we mourn the loss of accountability,
but fail 
to look in the mirror:

the world starts with us,
we are the power
we so desperately crave;

can we find the wisdom
to wield it for the health
of the world
