Bondage of Nature Collaboration

The eye of the needle rattles the intoxicating compass of her heart Someone has moved the sign posts and this is not a trivial matter Magnetic fascination unbridles a moon so intensely absorbed That even the tides can not keep up with eternal connection Of infinite creation that had once offered its life for safe keeping Nature is unparalleled but humankind lives a paradox of evolution Breaking up an internal connection as if deeply compelled to expire Emaciated kin on one side of the fault line disempowered by greed As we seem deeply compelled to take a ride at the edge of extinction We have lost touch gripped by raking in dubious malevolent profits Can’t learn from history mock dinosaurs and woolly mammoths Strive to go out with a bang following Darwin’s unintended curse No bee will harm lavender flowers as they caress innocent petals A river never attempts to carry more water when flashing its soul Many floods are man-made and Noah’s ark has nowhere to go A vulture sits on the remains of an ice berg and feeds on entrails Of a last polar bear and gobbles up flags of empires stuck into guts In a last-ditch attempt not to drown we build star ships like flying pigs to Migrate to the sun like Icarus on a suicide mission for burning in hell Affinity to nature sends a final warning to accord for ultimate sins 07th July 2019

The polar bears, the bees, and the "Can’t learn from history mock dinosaurs and woolly mammoths Strive to go out with a bang following Darwin’s unintended curse" greatly concern me. Well done, my environmental activist, poetic friend!
