Ballad of An Unsung HeroVivid flashbacks from bloodshed battles
his soul still ravaged by devious dictators,
cries from fallen comrades still echo in his mind,
but he continues to walk upon a path of pandemonium.
Reluctantly he ventures forward with
vengeance portrayed through embers
engulfed within his frenzied eyes -
reflecting his mother's irreversible tears.
He...

Ballad
October RainIs it
simply a case of precipitation,
moist warm air condensation
or are they God’s tears showering us with love,
as rain washes away our sorrows,
in the hope of brighter tomorrows.
Gloomy grey skies conceal a shy sun
with murky dull clouds lingering.
A cornucopia of soggy brown leaves
slither and slide under...

October Rain

Lungs of the EarthYou spoil the air by burning fossil fuel
By absorbing odors, trees help to level
You inhale fresh air
To this, trees provide a lions’ share
You exhale exhaust of the body
Which the trees take into custody
Trees inhale the pollutant
And exhale oxygen that you want
Every life lives with the...

Memento On The Moon
A tsunami of black ash blankets half a world
Trash toadstool hoodoos, wastelandic pillage
and pollutant mucus ravishes lava villages
Draining is the amalgam mass at the end of the spectrum
Stone environs shock, unnatural landscapes
Polyethylene islands flushing the canvas
Carbon contaminant fumes flair in mid drift air
Virtually no...

Military maneuvers,
conducted by starship troopers,
make a Lot of king Chedorlaomer noise
Earhole space
penetrated by the Pentagon puffing pace ...
stealth sound of smoke signals
Warning drumbeat signs
of an incoming, deadly drone invasion
Attack helicopters hover
over tempting topography targets ~ reservoirs of rich resources
They make a...

BennieHe does not answer when I speak,
the severed head in the picnic basket,
nor do the swarming flies on the muslin sack,
buzzing on the dried blood, concern him overmuch.
I still speak to him as ice chunks...

Vanity-In-VanityMadness about everything,
Craziness about nothing,
The complacency of the aboriginals.
Unlike the tail-wagging syndrome
Of the black man, a hyperbole!
The truth of nature prevails.
Yes, upon their claims of immunity.
“We taught you the how and why of life,”
The songs of the humbug pioneers hear!
For every claim they claim to...

Snapshot of Overlooked BeautyA lake cradled in the Himalayan foothills’ verdant cleft
Its acclaimed beauty on the azure water sun did reflect.
Not for long though, a sprawling hamlet’s arms spread
Toxic pollutant stream in the lake it drained and shed.
Crystal clear water soon became algal and eutrophic
Decimated shortly all the...

Np-NoiseSound of music with sweet vibes
soothe my nerves with passion,
but when the pitch is high with
great intensity and vibration,
I feel uneasy and disturbed.
Noise!unwanted sound-a pollutant,
Noise!unpleasant vibes;
Oh,noise!conflicting echoes;Please don`t scream.
The reverberation is excruciating,
My eardrums oscillate with mesmerism,
dangerous signals sent to the brain,
which responds by blinking headache,
increased...

Goodly ContaminationNothing is ultra pristine pure
Nothing is completely denuded of contamination
There is always something foreign,
lurking hidden somewhere, in there.
Often being unaware of contamination is blissful,
for the disclosure disturbs the faith and destroys trust
we have in food or drink, air or water.
Why should we care what...

Saddened EarthA SADDENED EARTH
How many plagues will the earth survive, taking innocent souls to their death beds.
As their families grieve, daughters crying over fathers, children mourning their mothers.
Life is delicate like a lady bug caught in a spider web, as she tries to escape her fate.

All Trendy Diet FadsAs I mused in bosom stone, I presume for myself.
It wouldn't alarm me that I must do a diet program.
Slight weight reduction will profit my life.
Weight might prompt some sort of alarm.
I started with a healthy eating habit.
Made of scores that should be...

In My BloodRed fluid flowing through my veins
The center being my heart
My liver being the cleanse
To detox is to rid
The pollutant of my sins
Inherited traits
In which I do relate
My mother giving me strength
As my father a jack of all trades
When my temper flares it boils to create

Smoke Filled RoomsGathered at the grave we pay our homage,
To the grand and the ominous relics we so cherish.
To the great life giving force that
Has indeed given me room for displeasure.
Inhale the pollutant and exhale the desperation,
In a vain attempt to grasp...
