I SEE FISH WEEPING

I see
fish
weeping

I hear
trees
sighing

flowers
are desperate-
ly beautiful

disarmed
animals
slip
between the bars
of cages
as large
as cities
and glimpse
dreams
fueled
by decay

and beneath
a sky
expecting
brownouts,
overweight oceans
crawl
toward
obesity.

I used to drink
beer;
now I drink
whiskey.

The imagery and strength of expression in this is fabulous....the tone is a mixture of beauty/hope and a world of despair. I could quote my favourite lines/stanzas, but then I'd probably have to quote almost the entire poem, and that's a sign of an amazing poem.
Bar none, this is one of your best

Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world!
