Photos of the Week

I open the magazine,

To the page of my favorite-

Photos of the Week.

Colors of all kinds,

Mingled together,
Like an oil painting of a dark sky.

What is it about?

Then I see the name of it
-Colored River,

 The next photo shows a giant tube,

Above a river like a human organ aroused,

Shooting waste water along the river side,
Spurting the lovely colors out.

I turn the page frantically.

This one has a few cows,
And a stretch of lively green prairie,
But, what are those scattered vase holes?
The photo says
-Prairies under Exploitation of Minerals.

Hollow holes,
Like those hidden under pure white skirts,
Are dug with hard iron shovels.
Flesh and blood ooze gently out,
Mixed with the dark warm soil.
