SAVE THE MORIBUND LUNGS OF THE EARTH

Biosphere's tropical respiratory rainforests are on the verge of extinction,
the exclusive reservoir of biodiversity, the Congo Basin is shrinking rapidly.

Deforestation dehydrates the caliginous evergreen region,
scorching heat changed the water cycle irreversibly.

Locking in scanty rainfall and...

2nd Day of Lockdown

2nd day of lockdown 
I woke up early in the morning 
Stepped forward to kitchen 
Made tea for myself and her
I poured it into two mugs and
Returned to bedroom. 
Fake smile on fake face
'Do you...

Greening the Blue Does It Include You

Earth and environment preserved for us,
all bountiful and all lush.
Very pristine, pure and clean,
Clear blue sky and lands jade green.

Languid wings of breeze used to carry,
Scents  of flora and fauna fondly and airy.
Sweet melodies...

Take Me Back To Alode By Jonah Okpabi

The land is soaked with blood
The sand is soaked with tears
Oh
How many barrels of blood must be spilled
to know that so many souls are gone?
How many basins of tears does it take
to have more than...

Flicked Cigarette

Through the hills within the woods of a mountain's slithering slopes,
A road winds its way, on which rides a car driven by a misanthrope. 

Plucking from his pocket a pack of poison sticks with one...

Amish, Hasids, and Mormons

A madman pushed me off the track, lucky not much harm
I sat in the Hospital waiting room with just a broken arm.
They handed me a form to fill, 20 genders, 10 types of race -

Ages

4/14/17


Across the ages
There was many changes
During the beginning, middle and end of phases
Above and below any stages
Some left to be found, written upon pages

Leaving a lot or little to if any traces
Among any places
Considered tiny...

Then and Now

In the beginning God did create
In seven days, a perfect place.
Man and beast, trees and hills,
Rugged lands and daffodils.
Clear were the skies, clean was the air,
No need to have a Smokie the Bear.
The trees were...

The World From the Eyes of a Caveman

The mountain breeze, 
Frozen fractals, heavy clouds,
The hardened rocks, plains, valleys, 
rivers, oceans, seas,
highlands, lowlands, grasslands, river basins, vegetations, rainforest, 
birds, trees, animals, insects...
All these I know
But, 
The big strange bird with stiff wings flying...

Assemblage of the Incognito Porch

In these parts dead forests run to the center dry
Bed rocks ring hollow in deep basins opened wide
Water no longer meets the cabin door
Since the lake became emptied by some force

Irrigation comes at a cost

Human Wreckage (Part 3)

I can’t walk out on this feeling, 
Cigarette burns phantom-project onto
The backs of my hands like leprosy, 
Hackles rise on the nape of my neck, 
Ghostly pliers wrench my fingernails out, 
Dripping protoplasm, blood and...

Brenda and Banron bounced slowly on his boat
as the brilliant sun sparkled brightly on the glistening water.
Big and burly he was the boy she sought after in her book.
She smiled bravely as his battered pole...

Basins of My Downfall

and speak as it was spoken
forced to bite my tongue 
and break into the ocean
slipped off ledges filled with glass
and entangled in frustration
the water left its mark, and passed

Natural Gemstones of Life

Earth’s natural gemstones thunder down
Miriards of multi sized scattered diamonds tumbling
trained jewels, beads, roll down roof glazing
Tiny shards of light begin to bounce, dance and reflect magnificantly
At first twinkles of days sunlight peep from behind...

Still am full of strength,

Mona Lisa -Page 6 of 6

Mona Lisa is
Looking directly with fizz
Loving life more than slaying 

Her bent left arm looks
Curving as rushed water goes
Few miles into Sinai cove

Her left side’s dark cheek
A map of bliss’ Middle East
Tsunami comes to seek...

In the Mood

lately, i have been in this female mood
for some kind of abandon, that
which exhales the tigress fire
out of my lungs digging the veins
from a week's' routine movements
pruned to the barest of a payroll’s droll…
antiseptic cubicles...

Waterfalls

Headwaters,
Of the world’s flowing souls,
Cresting to flight and misting rainbows.

Everyone.
Searching for another.
To endure sacrifices behold,

Cascading
Heart’s ladles dip into
Basins of memories in plunge pools.

Waterfalls,
From the rapids of youth,
To the flat waters of golden years

Constellations

2/24/16


Made my own observations
While following through on obligations
Certain materials came into contact with the process of oxidation
As I always respected conservation
Unfortunatley the same could not be said for all occupations
And methods of operation
