Best Icecap Poems
Dear MeneerAs I land,
You hold my hand
As I fall,
You stand me tall
You opened my eyes
Removed my icecap of blindness
To expose my inner core
And showed me that I’m worth so much more
As I bend,
You mould
As I cry,
You show me the how and the why
About the apeman

Mother Earth's Realtime StoriesStudying history
tries to be objectively subjective,
at its best

Treeless AvenueSo long old mountain
You are in the rear view mirror of my forgotten
For so long my foundation,
My future determination refuses to look back
At your crumbling avalanche
I’m now fatigued
Your roots are my withered memory
And your shelter is fatigued
Retired for another age in history
Your grey...

Angry SunShe comes down near my head daily
releasing sharp spears on it precisely
I shout for mercy but she listens not
without compassion she tortures me
Born brown angry Sun darkened me
the blood veins are hidden beneath
my eyes refuse to see precious world
just because of actions of angry...

It overwhelms Earth's beauty; it questions our own worth.
Another child lies hungry upon a mat that she calls her bed.

Killing earthWith the icecap melting before our eyes.
And the sea levels are starting to rise.
More land is disappearing everyday.
Plants and wildlife are fading away.
Drilling for oil deep in the dirt.
Our earth is dieing because it's hurt.
We must act NOW without delay....
