Storms

Storms:
Swelling tears of indignation 
Unleashed by tormented earth*
   
For

To extinguish the flames of hubris
That have humanity’s psyche    
Engulfed!

*Dear friends, as you see the poem was written on the 7th of April today- 15 April 2014-  unfortunately, I found out that I am absolutely right to say what I say, for the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ( PNAS), announced that " Researchers have found out that pollutants are strengthening storms ..." My poem is not just philosophical, it is the reality for our planet is a living organism with inviolable laws which we have to respect otherwise we have to face the consequences! THANK YOU ALL for caring!

Once again, thank you for all your wise, and thoughtful words .....here among your poetry, but also listening to Drake's show today, I have learned new respect for a poet I had not met. It is nice to be better acquainted. Brevity has not been often enough in my own writings, but a lesson I could well learn from you. This is another wonderful example.

My dear friend Russell, when our heart is submerged into the agony of our dying planet, we are inspired to amplify its torment so as those hard-of- hearing might here the desperate cries of Mother Earth! Thank you for listening, thank you for caring!
