Eco-Green Rage

Breathe deep into the shale,
vent your anger out into the deep blue
Strangle that rage in the seaweeds,
let the calming tortoise walk of peace
move slowly across the ocean floor bed
There, gently rest your troubled head,
and pacify your fiery emerald irises
Eco-green rage
cannon pointed at the toxic canisters
being dumped in
Eco-green zeal,
environmentally protecting
the baby seals
The trees, the air ... the birds in the air,
for these nature gems you care very much
You despise profiteering man’s 
poisonous industrial touch
The water, the soil ... the creatures foraging in the soil,
for these natural jewels you’re willing to die
Seeing the spilt oil on the beach sand,
dirtying the pristine clean land,
makes you wanna cry
You have an eco-green glint of rage
rampaging in your eyes
Gamma-ray transformation has you hulking,
as you watch the earth
sink deeper and deeper into a 
cesspool of man-made lyes
And the madder you get,
the stronger you get
Breathe deep into the magma shell,
vent your eco-green rage into the sky blue
Let your volcanic anger transform you,
and let it change 
the surrounding sick atmosphere too
May your eco-green rage
pollute the perpetrators’ pockets 
with shredded green confetti
Falling like radioactive rain,
draining their bank accounts steady
As their down pouring financial pain 
floods the world economy stage ...
Tears of joy cool your hot, eco-green rage

Leanne Lovejoy-Burton December 20, 2017 at 4:57 AM I think about Fukushima and how the Ocean currents are carrying the poison everywhere. Then I think about that nutjob in North Korea carrying out all his nuclear tests underground, killing his own people. You think about how many Nuclear Power plants there are in the world and the ramifications of earthquakes or war. They say it's all part of "Revelations" the mass die-offs of sea creatures, birds, wildlife...it has to be the radiation, HAARP maybe...maybe this is "Revelations". "vent our eco-green rage into the blue sky, let your volcanic anger transform you", the Earth is a living entity, it has had enough.
