Paul Tony Jr -Yupik 

Apocalypse

Who are we?

That our dark vision

Built on the broken frames

Of slaves and poverty

Can so long evince

The architecture of our

Greed; the world shattering

Effect of our egotistical

Self-centered inner force.

How are we to bring light

To so much darkness?

Even as we take

The humble offerings

From our stores and share

With those unable

Or even unwilling to feed

The children; the weak

And old. For here among us

Are so many faces that

Can smile; unheard laughter

From voices silenced

By the eternal night

How do we deny the light

Within our very souls?
