Endangered Species

Humans
are choking the neck
right now.

They only need
to loosen
their grip
just a little.

But humans
cannot even
do that.

Because humans
have never
had it done
for them.

To be a strong man is a lesson to learn
We must deal with heartache after we are born

No sorrow, no remorse for any man
It must begin in childhood when your mind can ascend 

Be tough with reality to see things as they are
To get beat over and over until you can't take no more

Fall down

A hunter swift with eye that gleams
this Falcon's life's not what it seems.
Once endangered the Falcon cries
rarely heard in Western skies,
now seen up high in city dreams.

Premium Memberfeeling endangered

she felt his presence immediately
cloaked heavily, unseen and unfelt by others
she was an empath; he was clearly evil
the hair on her arms stood up

a gentle breeze wafted into the bedroom
in no way reassuring her that her life was okay
an ominous presence lingered in the air
wolf eyes watching her every move

she knew she was in dire

AN ENDANGERED MOUSE

A man is born homo-Erectus
Into a world
Where women wants 
To usurp authority
A world where
Women will electrocute her man
If she can’t wrap him
Around her little fingers
Thus I often beg God
For one big favor…
Let me die
The death of the righteous
The day I become
An endangered mouse

Premium MemberEndangered Education

In halls once filled with promise bright,
A shadow creeps and dims learning's light.
Reform, a word with noble aim,
Now, threatens all in education's name.

Standardized tests, a rigid cage,
Confine young minds upon the page.
Creativity withers on the vine,
As rote replaces reason's shine.

Teachers, once guided with passion true,
Now struggle 'neath a system skewed.
Their art is reduced to data

The Song of the Endangered Trees

We are living beings too.
We too have sorrows, pains, sufferings, tears,
Joy and happiness as well as the right, like yours,
To survive on earth.

We provide you with flowers, fruits, what a cool shade
And the most precious oxygen--you know well.
It is you who consume all the fruits we bear,
The weight of which makes our boughs bow down.
Nevertheless,

BEAUTIFUL BUT ENDANGERED

I’m a tall lanky, long legged creature,
stunning beauty, easily recognized.
Body marks separate me from others,
that’s why been told … I’m easy on the eyes.

Talk about eyes, my beamers not forget,
gigantic sultry, sexy bedroom eyes.
More alluring behind long thick lashes,
extraordinary … no one denies.

All the way down neck, flows short full mane,
no way competes

An evil kangaroo poacher from Perth
Rousted rare 'roos for all they were worth.
But, one day as he wrangled,
In his noose he got tangled,
Now of kangaroo poachers from Perth there's a dearth.

Man, An Endangered Species

Eons on anvil, hit and miss, 
Earth’s not mastered mood of Nature. 
But look at this fool of a man, 
On dunghill a much crowing hen, 
As if has reached top of stature. 
Easy may it be to reach there, 
Much harder to take the due care. 
His seems the right candidature, 
Be atop endangered

Premium MemberEndangered Species

My fingers feverishly racing over the keys,
Searching for the words…the right words
To express in verse my embattled pleas
On behalf of endangered animals and birds.

I was moved to adopt their cause of late
My fingers feverishly racing over the keys,
Recalling the awful fate of Arctic baby seals
Watching a video brought me to my knees.

Learning of the garbage

Mountain Ash

in a time long ago
i was just two leaves growing so slow
looking for an open space
to grow my branches at my pace
dreaming of the giant i would become
if i only can catch some light and sun
mountain ash is my name
i am a king in my domain
i seek the light and grow so tall
for a thousand

his reply is no i done with that

A path is worn
going no where
the perimeter
of a domain
enclosed by a fence.
The pride will not follow,
the wildebeest
too few to encircle
their young
shiver in a biting cold.
A Bengal tiger paces
before a closed door
awaiting
a cold lifeless prey
as broken winged raptors
long for the sky.
A cheetah
races the shadow
of its past.
The silver backed gorilla
thumps an empty chest.
The children leave
in yellow buses
believing
