Best Pollutants Poems
Wonderful wonders woven within wild.
Titillates theatrical tender thoughts
Consistently creation, contrives conservation concerns.
Ecology evolves equations, entitling entities essence.
Empowering equality, enlarges existence.
Life lovingly leases Longevity.
Biodiversity braces, blatant brutal balding.
Deforestation, destruction devoid due definition.
People physically, plundering planet.
Prevalently procuring, products proscribed
Pilfering practices producing poisonous pollutants.
Greenhouse gases generated, generously grievous.
Temperate temperature’s tempers tumultuous.
Creating Climate changes, causing catastrophes.
Planet purges peril predominately.
Preached, placid platitudes, politicians podiums paced.
loved lives logged listed lost.
Lacuna languished, lessons least learnt.
Losing Life lingers, listing leeward lazily.

Quote No.1
“As you live deeper in the heart~
The mirror gets clearer and cleaner.”
_Quote by Rumi
Oh God,
You have created me
In your image and likeness-
The mirror of your love.
What do you see
When you gaze upon me?
Your image and likeness?
Or just a hazy semblance
Dulled by the sticky film that forms
On a mirror left unattended?
Your image is surely there, Lord.
Teach me, I pray,
To faithfully cleanse away that film
Which obscures the clarity of you-
Those everyday pollutants
That distorts your reflection-
So that, what you are
And what you see in me,
Are clearly, one.

Nature created a balance
Man wants to conquer and thrive
Progress not conservation is Man’s desire
Soon there’ll be nowhere for Nature to survive
So, pick up that bottle
Carry out your trash
Leave nothing behind
Plastics give ‘em a rash
Leave the branches alone
No carving initials, please
Let them grow big and strong
Let Nature, not man, bring disease
Clean up the waters
Stop dumping our waste
Let us let the fish breathe
Our pollutants bring demise in haste
Birds fly through smog
We darken the skies with our clouds
We constantly take this world for granted
And the Earth grumbles aloud
Lend a hand for Mother Earth
Just do your small part
For the animals, plants, water and your kids
Today is a great day to start

Wake up fresh in the morning, free from daytime's infections
Splash a pot of coffee on your pristine complexion
Rev up your car's engine: Send a cloud of smoke into the air
Motor off to work: Emit toxic pollutants over the road everywhere
Sprint to your desk: Turn on the computers, the a/c and the lights
Ratchet up enough current to frazzle countless insects and mites
At break, leave the office: Enjoy a quick smoke
Then smell your clothes -- a tar-and-nicotine cloak
Back at your desk, sweat pours down your body
Mingled with the smell of your cloak, you're off to the potty
Where you befoul the toilet, the hallway and office
With tincture of excrement, exotic odor so nauseous ...

Now this poem's not going to sink, burn or crash
Here's how to remove gobs of rubbish and trash
Step into the shower at the close of each day
Turn on the water full-throttle: Blast those germs away
Let the welcome droplets cascade down your head, face and arms
Wash the stench away with H2O's charms

Let’s come together
to save our planet
From Global warming
Reduce the greenhouse gases
From destroying … the atmosphere
Try our best to keep it clean from pollutants
The air we breathe…
Or there’ll be thunderstorms and flooding…
From rising seas
Can you hear mother Earth is calling…
“Come back to me”
I’ll give you all the warmth and affection
Naturally…
Let’s plant our love and reap its blessings
For all mankind
And make the world a healthier place...
For you and I

The amber ring around the moon.
Pollutants and dust.
A beautiful sight to which we swoon.
The color of an opaque rust.
It dances behind the clouds.
As if unforeseen.
The discoloring shrouds.
The unforgiving and clean.
Masquerading the truth behind.
What this really means.
That the mind.
Prefers it's fiends.
The amber ring that graces the moon.
Leaves what should be a graceful path.
But instead, told far too soon.
That we will feel everyone else's wrath.

The Ring of Fire sits ready to erupt
Perhaps Mother Nature has had enough
Of pollutants invading reservoirs
And oil-drilled coastlines, sands coated by tar
Sea creatures poisoned by hazardous waste
Trash left on beaches by people in haste
Sea oats destroyed as construction proceeds
Turtle hatchlings wandering toward manmade beams
Whales wash up and expire on ocean shores
Battleships litter the deepest sea floors
With thinning ozone, sea temperatures rise
Igniting rage in Mother Nature’s eyes
Volcanoes, tsunamis are her weapons
Earth’s last days may be man’s time to reckon

The GOP are talking about doing away
With the EPA
But The Environmental Protection Agency
Makes sure that factories don’t pollute the air we breathe
They say “Kill that act”
Just because they want to run their businesses with ease
If the Clean Air Act is obliterated
Than with pollutants we’ll be saturated
The EPA is a good agency
Making businesses clean up their act
These are the facts:
The EPA has resources to help prepare for and respond
To both natural disasters and hazardous substance spills
And that’s the law they want to kill?
The EPA provides information on the environmental hazards
That can threaten our health in our everyday lives
So let’s see eye-to-eye and stop this strife
With bombastic lies

Our Earth weeps waves of falling tears-
with hope, each one will be her last
to wipe away climatic fears
from air pollutants that amass.
The floods are triggered by her pain;
her deluge of emotions pour
in torrents of a drenching rain
to wipe the slate and start once more.
She is a living, breathing thing,
this lovely mother, we call Earth.
But atmospheric poisons bring
concerns to heal with clear rebirth.
The air is washed, the oceans rise,
with cleansing tears, her deluge creeps.
Disaster goes against her will;
she, driven by renewal, weeps.
With hope, each one will be her last
to wipe away climatic fears
from air pollutants that amassed;
our Earth weeps waves of falling tears.

"Air pollution can cause more droughts and floods, a new long-term study has discovered. The research from top scientists studying a decade of atmospheric data has shown how cloud and weather development are affected by aerosols in the atmosphere...the dust, soot, and additional particulates can produce intense rain, snowfall, and severe storms..." www.earthtimes.org

On that night two foolish fish
Were found garnished on his dish
They’d dropped out of school
For playing the fool
Not to die had been their wish
Now they wound up on his plate
To be consumed by his date
Foolishness still there
Humans unaware
Just wanted to satiate
But that which addled fish brains
Now gave those humans some pains
How ‘foolish” to eat
The refuse filled meat
Poison in humans remains!
Eileen Manassian Ghali
This limerick was born out of a joke between me and a soup member about the benefits of vegetarianism. I had joked that with MAD cow, and bird FLU, soon there would be a breakout of FOOLISH fish. The person quipped that it was because the fish had “dropped out of school” and challenged me to write a poem….Well, here it is. Some facts:
Fish is known to be the best type of meat to consume because of the Omega 3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. However, care should still be taken when consuming fish. “Fish is one of the most polluted foods we eat. Unfortunately, nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of methylmercury, which is poisonous to the brain. Mercury accumulates in fish when polluted water is filtered through their gills. The longer a fish lives, the more the mercury accumulates. Large fish eat small fish and accumulate all of the mercury that was in the small fish. This mounts up exponentially. Our tissues also accumulate the mercury of all the fish we eat throughout our lifetimes. No fish is completely free of mercury and other pollutants. If you eat fish regularly, your body is undoubtedly high in mercury. High body stores of mercury cause brain damage and memory impairment, leading to dementia. It has been demonstrated that fish contain enough mercury to harm an unborn baby or harm a young child’s developing nervous system” (Dr Fuhrman).
Don’t hate me! I’m just saying……. ;)

The oceans are a polluted mire
The land is choking on plugs and wire
And rainforest are ablaze with fire
The future could not be more dire.
The sky is full of toxic chemical trails
And the earth on which we live is frail
A mix of pollutants and Pesticides Leave the air stale
This is a very sad and sorry tale.
Meanwhile many species are near extinction
Our humanity is not shining with distinction
I could make a prognostication or prediction
But what's true is this tale is real and not fiction.

The cloudless sky scarred with contrails
Like cicatrices on a slaves
Backside from numerous lashings.
Back and forth, this way and that way
Flying bombs travel overhead
Leaving in their wake, pollutants
In the form of anomalies:
Man-made, miasmal cirrus clouds.
Experts maintain they are harmless
Like our frosty breaths in winter.
Believe that, and I have a bridge
I want to sell you in Brooklyn.
Down on earth exhaust is called smog
Up there it’s called condensation?
Where does the Truth lie?
The answer: the clouds
in the form of acid rain.

Carrying Birds, Chirping in ears
The sound of Music, A vulture hears
Sing of despair, A storm brewing near
Death taking a toll, Rivers overflow
Earthquakes causing Shakes, Tsunamis in which they create
Time telling a story, Of a land washed away
Buildings of rubble, Body's they Shovel
A loss looking to the sky, Victims wondering why
The world having swallowed, Their love ones becoming hallow
Rising to a new day, Strength for which they pray
Gathering all, Lost memories in a fall
Seasons create change, Birds return for gain
Camouflaging to a time, The color in trees
Photosynthesis causing vibrance, Pollinating the bees
Despite pollutants, Riddling the air
Forever carried in the wind, Wings of an affair
Moving forward in a loss, despite being unfair
Remembering a time, Birds silenced with fear

my machine nature
possibilities untold
there for the taking
i seek... nature gives
i reciprocate... grateful
i recycle waste
human heartbeats
two hundred thousand years old
as one... would deafen
first life... single-cell
no inhibitions... freedom
ruled planet earth
communication
touch alone... we still suffer
bacteria
propagation
cell division... host dictates
perpetual motion
atmospheric life
living on pollutants
bacteria
life's an enigma
only for the human race
still self-destructing
spontaneity...
a human mistake...
acts without thinking

1.
Rumor has it on heavens above
Among the angels’ divine sphere
That God after very much though
Decided in man’s life to interfere
2.
For He has observed Man’s mistakes
Which lately too many came to be
To endanger the whole of creation
Act with which God can never agree
3.
So the Lord has most recently chosen
The book of life before long to reprint
Revising certain of its very old chapters
While others out will leave, He has hint
4.
The concern of humans is now to know
Which chapters the book will not contain,
Which are going to be, somehow, revised
And which intact will forever remain
5.
What was heard through the vine though,
It was Man’s huge and unbearable vanity
That made our almighty Lord and creator
To finally exclude the chapter of humanity
6.
The reason our God in His infinitive wisdom
Reached such unexpected for Mankind conclusion
Is the fact that Man during his reign on earth
Has hurt our planet with his insensitive intrusion
7.
It might still be time for Man overall to be saved
If he started correcting his many mistakes soon
Beginning by respecting life and the whole planet
And stop behaving as a dim-witted buffoon.

* According to UN’s most recent report (March 2014) “We are in an era where
climate change isn’t some kind of future hypothetical,” said Chris Field, one of
the two main authors of the report, and Rajendra Pachari chair of the IPCC
(Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) added: “Nobody on this planet
is going to be untouched by climate change.” For that UN suggested measures
to be taken immediately for to save the planet.
Moreover, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ( PNAS),
announced that " Researchers have found out that pollutants are strengthening storms ...plus endanger the health of people."
