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.

Endangered Species

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

Endangered Species

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

Endangered 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

Endangered Species

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

Grief Encounter of Endangered Species

Grief Encounter of Endangered Species

howl for me 
old woman wolf
howl and bay 
at the cold faced moon
she whose crescent crown
pierces all armour.
I will join you 
on this midnight hill
to scream and rail
at the far goddess.

then you and I
our voices joined
eyes lighted by lost 
wealth of dreams
will turn a stare
at raw souls bared.
until moonset breaks
our primal

Endangered Species

This one is true
No tongue-in-cheek wink
The poor Hoo-ha crab
Is becoming extinct
They say that the women
Trimmin’ today
Have left the poor Hoo-ha crab
No place to stay
They need warmth and protection
From a natural forest
Or they’ll soon go the way
Of the late Brontosaurus
The poor Hoo-ha crabs
Will never do well
Till women revert
And go au-nat-chur-el
Crabs want to go back
To when

Girl in red, a dress
                 Pleated down to her knees, skips 
                 Down the lonely street.

The San Quinton Kangaroo Rat (Endangered Species)

Arriba, Arriba as Speedy Gonzalez would say
The San Quinton Kangaroo Rat is dying away 

Baja California is where they do reside
On a little strip of land just 100 meters wide

Due to agriculture and progress it’s sad to say
All but nine-miles of their habitat was taken away

Truly nocturnal they only come out at night
Strongly territorial they’re

Endangered Species

I am an endangered specie,becoming readily extinct by the day.
There are few and far less of us as time is ever so clear
one day,alas,the whole of us will surely disappear.
Men,without flaws or granny glass spectacles
are taking command of my generation by hand
Well equipt with abs of steel
The little man gets pushed aside and it becomes

Endangered Species

The bell denotes my presence and I breathe in all the must,
The old man sits amidst his books himself covered in dust.
I glance around -
	Without a sound -
		What will my hunting eyes expound?

My favourite place to visit full of wonders and old writing,
Such stories do they tell to me, before you even crack the binding.

ENDANGERED SPECIES




Where are the nuclear units
The mother and father team
I’m looking for you
You on the verge of extinction

Is it a myth that once stood strong?
The wall that held us up so long
The barrier that protected us
Is it myth, fiction make believe

Ideologies are strong
Tells me to go on
The American Dream
Mother, Father you and me

An emotional need
