The Breath Taking ( Part One )

The Breath Taking This clean air we breathe hides a murdering a disguised choking filled with acids insidious burning slow corrosion of lung and tree infecting the inviting honesty of the rose The breath taking Oil leaking death is approaching spreading its deadly secret through renowned civilised plasticoncrete falling poisons reside in the clouds breathing photochemicals there is no truth in reflecting blues of rain puddles more a bile transpired sheen from gas puking chimneys vomiting chemical shrouds onto the greenery The breath taking Suckling in tune on these electrified teats of this callous immaculate conception humanity slowly bleeds from its own dead lakes of industrial landfilled waste dumped the luxury of living green enslavement to the machine flows pollutant through malicious veins that were once river arteries now feeding cursed worlds of trash desolation driving the Earth to the point of breaking The breath taking Fools sipping this predetermined nectar of refining predicting in the next generation a steady use for contaminating thinking only in terms of the quality and immediate lining in the pockets of their progressive suites enclosed in safe penthouse vampire worlds securely dreaming the corporate design belching as they go the oil slick bigotry choosing filth to drink the waters of purity condemning all which they no longer understand their cold steel puppets of cancer grow tall with the eyes of skyscrapers which view from the edge of this abyss and avoid the extinct they no longer miss The breath taking !

Colin going to the next part of this passion of your's. I realize how much you care for mother earth. How you feel about man's neglect in protecting her instead of abusing and destroying her. You have certainly conveyed this in a a strong, emotional, and passionate way. Your friend Michael Torres.
