The Nature's CryDo we blame God?
The environment was once cool
Cool enough for our good
Till industrialisation brought its mud
Growth improved, thanks to technology
Mechanisation took over all
Our thoughts, activities and mall
Yet, it's long run effect, unknown and dodgy.
Each industrial revolution brought degradation
Rising temperatures and heat ascending
Water table rising...

Earth Element of Water
Earth Element of Water
The foremost need for earthly water is hydration;
without its properties, there is no cell creation.
Good cultivation of our crops needs irrigation.
All life craves water to survive, a...

I don't know much
about politics and such
I'm just a regular farming guy
Check the water table,
tend to the crops
Spend most my day scanning the sky
But I will tell you what I do know,
saying something don't make it so
Can't no politician
make the wind patterns change
Can't no politician
bring...

Where Has All the Water GoneWhere has all the water gone?
What is not poisoned is now in poor supply…
They call it “fracking,” a way of trapping
gas or oil for fuel to meet demands of energy.
Our water on this earth is the gift of life,

Bang a GongWho the hell rings bells anymore
whether in a Capitalist society, a Theocracy, an Oligarchy,
or a Dictatorship
the DING has sure been taken out of the
rama dama ding dong
No ones home, the juries out
G-d is dead?
Shell, Chevron and Texaco
have reduced the life expectancy of people in the...

Nothing Between
So full of empty between the ears;
void breeze reasoning,
zero thoughts a-blowing
Banished to the barren cornfields,
multi-grain years of accumulated wisdom
bear no pleasant, golden-age yield
Black sky intellectual famine
was lost cause shuttered-in,
by a blight of self-centered locust feed
Constant dry spells of self-absorption: Attic dust
sparked a bewitchingly vague...

The Oil DebateSome say love makes the world go round
I say it is oil that makes the world go round
The thing that is in everything
from plastics to fuel is how it does rule
so given this thought here is your opportunity
to have your say in a different way
Where’s...

We Loved At First: Love Left QuitetudeI
Old English Lawns
unseen hands watered and caressed
emerald tinted aquamarine green
O the most beautiful natural lanscape
Not even lawn furniture, or modern waterhose
O the gratitude for this interruption of civilzation
How you overcame drought, all weather extremes
showing neither bruises, nor memories of hurts
A second century loomed ahead
Newly-weds from...

It's Now Human's TurnRising sea-level, falling water table.
Oh, moon is too full, tides miserable.
Fishes and snails, and all blue whales
swimming ocean of garbage, out of their jails.
Yes, a vacation for change, of climate we yearn.
After Dinosaur, high time, it's now human's turn.

The Little Wave That CouldThe Little Wave That Could
by Odin Roark
So small
Amid my big brothers
Surfing atop their shoulders
Cresting death with infant life
So many miles
Drifting beside whitecaps
Their splash my recreation
Like the hydrant joys
Captive waters...

Regret Bleeds To LongingRegret beats down like rain
Longing is like a still aquifer
No matter how I cup my hands
Regrets slip through my fingers
Filters underground to longing
All my failures transpire
Comes down in a torrent
The soil drinks all my regrets
Pools into something pure
Kilometers out of reach
I bring out a...

Ebb Tide By the Righteous BrothersThe seawater rushes inland at the height of the tides.
It is the lateness of the day the moon begin its rise.
Morning sun takes out the seawater and start its decline.
Studies by astronomers note the ascent and decline.
The position of the sun and moon, fluctuates the...
