not superstition
we lend the land to the humans
in return they abuse it and us
without thanks or thought
believe their artificial divisions
make their pathetic parcels sovereign
when they’re all part of one world
our world
they will not survive
though we are not wrathful
they will destroy themselves
with their lies and games
and self-deceptions
they have already started
they forget that their millennia
are a fraction of one of our
moments

friend, please lend a hand
or your ear to hear the woes
before we all go

@stevencudahy
The #MastoPrompt for Friday 9 January 2026 is:
#lend
The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.
@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.
If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to.
