Clemenceau… The ship that died. But didn’t stop killing. Imagine you're the State of France. What do you do with a 27,000-tonne warship full of asbestos, PCBs, lead, mercury, and other toxic chemicals, which you don't want and no European country is willing or able to scrap for you? Why, you send it off to India to be broken up by hand in a scrapyard where impoverished workers are injured and die every day? GREENPEACE, india

You stand,
You wait.
Recollect.
Life wasn't so fast then.
60 seconds seemed like 60.
The gray stays or fades away,
Leaving a shine reflecting the midday sun.
A sun long past, but still there,
Within.
my black is amost gone.
I see two old men walking up the hill.
Back then life was slow-
Today it's just a big show
Now, when time stands still,
Everything goes downhill.
