Premium MemberGLOBAL EXPLORATION

Pack your bags
We are off to the airport
Our Flight #212 was called
Our plane is running down the runway
Into the friendly skies
European places
Just you, me and anyone else who wants to join
Enriched goodness and elegance
Feel the avion
History with its own aroma
Reflecting back enjoying the laid back
Relaxed setting
Sights and sounds
Loveliness like no other
Picture perfect
European cuisine
Wine sip
European flavor

GLOBAL WARMING

Because of global warming
The ice caps are melting
Much faster and it's falling
By the chunks causing 
Sea levels to rise tremendously
And creating devastating flooding
Because the water has to settle
Somewhere, it's starting to remind me
Of the movie WATERWORLD and
How those people had to live/

Global Warming 2100

The mountains wept.
The skies moaned.
The soil trembled.
The trees whispered their last green prayers—
"Man has destroyed us... alone."

He who adds no value
takes all,
then leaves nothing—
just wastelands where rivers once sang.

The year was 2100.
Half of Britain—gone beneath the Atlantic.
Japan—smaller than a dot on a map.
American states—flooded into memory.
Europe—erased.
Russia’s frost—melted into pestilence.

Africa— Famine became the air.
Children born on

GLOBAL WARMING

I remember those summers as a boy,
When the sun shone down from morning till night.
That sun on our backs brought us so much joy 
And we laughed at those who’s skin was still white.
We knew nothing back then of UV rays,
As we lay on the beach by the ocean.
Sometimes we burnt on the hottest of

When Holy Hands Drop Bombs

What makes it okay to bomb a nation?
Kill so many who don’t have a station?
Destroy a country, cities and families?
Women, babies, children and men—all tragedies—
Who never chose this war… suffer again and again.

Across the globe, a catch twenty-two
Do what I say, not as I do.
What happened to the Fifth Commandment?,
In a world where religion is

(“Creation Myth Merit Badge”, 2016, original oil)

Global Intifada

Everywhere you look today the world is burning
Or is a dried out husk waiting to spark.

It’s a self proclaimed global intifada after all,
Sweeping like a plague across hearts and minds.

But what exactly is this resistance all about anyway?
Inquiring minds want to know.

In a nutshell; change, as the world

Torrid Affair

If, as the saying goes,
'There's no smoke without fire,'
is it smarter to ignite a spark
(illumination causation)
than bedamn the dark,
and thereby induce a funeral pyre,
or, better yet, a safer bet,
to avoid gossip and accusations,
find the substantiated fact(s)
(true datum)
before you act
and land in sorry situations?
It's no joke, on soot you'll choke,
yet, on the greener side,
carry the torch for earth

ADVANCEMENT?

Our faces glow
not with wisdom but with empty pride
when our phones perform a trick
a poem weaved in seconds
devoid of a human touch yet praised as art.

We leave the farm & our trade
To watch a match a thousand miles played.
We cheer & we bet & we shout and clap
And lose our roots within the trap.

But do

what have we done
for glaciers to melt so fast
for forest fires to flare so often
for tornadoes to rage so strongly
for droughts to occur oft and anon
for flash floods to recur time and again

Premium MemberGlobal Warning Dont be Silly

My ankles are grinning
We love the feel of the sun
We have not had her for a month
The last two weeks schools were closed
The windchill was twenty degrees below zero
Today it is sixty-seven degrees and sunny
Global warming? Of course not. Don’t be silly!

The Language of Us

"Words woven, threads of thought
In English, our stories are brought
A language born of earth and sea
A tapestry rich, for you and me

From Shakespeare's quill to modern keys
English evolves, in endless breeze
A global tongue, that's strong and free
Connecting hearts, across humanity

With roots in Latin, Greek, and more
English blooms, a linguistic score
A language of dreams, of hopes,

Dear global leaders keep on rockin in the free world

Dear global leaders - keep on rockin' in the free world
after implementing long overdue criminal justice reforms,
especially affecting marginalized groups of people.

I vote for more lenient, progressive and tolerant treatment
towards undocumented immigrants, plus implementing
a humane win/win system to modify societal criminal behavioral.

Hear ye.... hear ye... All robust asylum seekers,
and able bodied prisoners with minor infractions.

Cue
