No need to ruin rainforest
It can be done in the desert
By planting trees or palm trees
To avert desertification
I see africa is turning green
I see Gobi Desert is getting green
How God has given man a chance
To rectify our forefathers aggrieved
Nature affluence and reaping poorly
Singapore rose to economic guru
Did not forget greening its cities
Environment is love by Environmentalist
Nature is worshipped by gods
Man is human who keep his surroundings safe
Love begets love when we take care of nature.

have you heard of or seen the Mongolian death worm?
has he spat venom your way or tried to electrocute you?
you need to travel to the Gobi desert, where he is.
in the 1950’s there were many hysterical sightings.
known as olgoi-khorkhoi in Mongolia.
Roy Chapman Andrew made the death worm famous.
Writing a book about how he travels underground.
Creating waves of sand on the surface.
Looks like an intestine, has teeth, but no face or mouth.
Kind of a hideous looking thing. Sprays venom.
Is two foot long, without a head.
Many expeditions have tried thumping to get him to appear.
Even Roy Chapman Andrew disbelieves he exists
Except in Mongolian folklore.

There was a fancy snake from Paris, France
Who had a thing for lacy underpants
He tried to put some on
But they only slid down
They were designed for cute, pink elephants
There once was a rattler from Nairobi
Who found himself in Arizona's Gobi
When he saw a rocket ship
He thought he'd take a long trip
Aboard spacecraft "Obi wan-Kenobi"

The time spent thinking up these rhymes,
could be put to better use.
I could learn a language, or DIY the house.
Maybe learn to fly a plane, or sail across the sea,
or walk across the Gobi, and drink Mongolian tea.
I could learn to play piano,
it can't be all that hard,
after all, I used to play tin whistle,
when I was just a lad.
There must be lots of activities,
I'm not too old to learn,
like playing tennis, keeping fit,
I've got some fat to burn.
But, Hey, you're no Spring chicken,
my dear wife likes to say,
Sit in your chair, put the blanket round,
and balance this tea tray.
I suppose I'll just keep dreaming,
of things that I could do,
or maybe write ideas down,
and make a rhyme or two.

The Wasteland
Through Gobi
I walked
Alone
Dislike
Smelly camels
A pilgrimage
God and I
In this dramatic
Vastness
Journey no
Wasted
Came out of this
Enormous
Real estate
Knew a lot
About sand
In shoes.

IT STILL MOVES
the earth complains
of heartburn in California
ulcers in Iraq
chicken pox in Afghanistan
sneezes and wheezes hurricanes in Atlantic
acid reflux somewhere in Mexico
it has chills at the poles
fever at the equator
sweats at the tropics
shakes all over in Japan
severe dry skin in Sahara and Gobi
vomits monsoon rains in India
its cells are dying in the Dead Sea
it foams at the Yellow River
in Venice it has a sunken feeling
some scars still hurt in Hiroshima
you’d think that the earth suffers –
it just lives the way it knows
and everything is normal
as it was a hundred years ago
or a thousand
or a million
if it complains
it’s just to grab our attention
the earth was a show off from the beginning –
it put itself together with a Big Bang

THE UTOPIAN DREAM BABY
She is in darkness and beautiful
What I dream of my Utopian dream baby
In the future I wish to see her born
As a very big mansion of mine on the moon
My own supersonic airplane to Heaven
A long bridge across the continents
To link all the oceans
New York to Banjul, Cape Town to Antarctica
Island of Lampedusa as a World Trade Center
Not as a nest for asylum hunters anymore
Sahara, Kalahari, Gobi, Himalayas as green belts
Not deserts with open arms anymore
All wastes to be biodegradable, renewable,chewable
Every rooftop to be garden
Our carbon dioxide to be inhalable perfumes
This is the worlds wild ambition
My Utopian mystic dream baby
A wish she comes early
To make the world a better home
Where we shall live like human Angels
Worried not of worries
In peace, in glory.

if i could
make you happy
just by waving my hand
it would be the least of things
i hope you understand
but i prefer something greater
like swiming across the sea
or climb the highest mountian
just so you could see me
like a child says "mommy watch"
just pretend that's me
i'd dig a hole to china
with you watching me
and when it comes to taming lions
anythings worth a try
i'd do it in a second
if i knew i'd catch your eye
i'd cross the Gobi Desert
if you were on the other side
walk from here to Tim Buc too
if that is where you hide
i'd dive into the Baltic sea
if you were in a submarine
and tap on the hatch my code
to let you know where ever you go
i won't be far behind
so when it comes to making you happy
that's nothing to me
i could think of a lot of things
but i think i'll start
by waving my hand

Warm winds blow
Their golden grain
The sands not in charge
Off their own domain
These hills of sand
Aeolian processes form
Shifting at will
In any desert sandstorm
The shape of the dunes
You see today
Were not their shape
Yesterday
Crescentic, linear
Star and dome
Parabolic
Dune shaped homes
Masses of sand
On our continents exist
But where ever they are
The wind persists
Gobi, Namib
To name but two
These deserts of grain
Golden yellow hue
Drifting sands
Whistle in rhyme
But we will never stop
The shifting sands of time

The legendary land of light
veiled by snow and sand
is one of many Eastern myths
we've yet to understand.
From the golden Gobi desert
to the mountains of Tibet
live the guardians of Earth
to whom we owe a debt.
Protected by the force of thought
when ego is cast out
the password is goodwill to man
no more, no less, no doubt.
The legend of Shambhala
is very much alive
and said to house the knowledge
to help mankind survive.
