Long Deforestation Poems

If your life's vocation
were to plan,
design,
and co-govern
an extended healthy family
through cooperative ecopolitical incorporation,
what would your cooperative do?

Where does my cooperative live?
In the White House,
the Governor's Mansion,
the homeless shelter,
or right here in Business As Usual?

It doesn't...

Espy, distinguish divinely made lively, lovely Trees
He or she, inhales carbon dioxide, then breathes
out for us humans, life given clean oxygen
Stout roots run deep, holding God's earth
Also, with you we were taught our first lesson

Going to heaven.  My philosophy is does God trust me,

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...

There are many life species, on our planet
whose lives, are desperate and stressful
trying to cope with life, as we know it
dealing with strive, that is not normal

Humans have invented, this thing called money
which has created,...

I was walking down the neighbourhood,
reminiscing how it all
used to be where we made believe
that we were nymphs in a wood,
except the once moist earth was parched,
and the once white air was brown...

When she took off her  veil
She saw a face, much known, staring at her.
She could hear an echo of a familiar voice, a usual tone.
But she could not see her.
There.

The voice she heard,

Dear humans, do you read me, I live in space,
Merely a being, sent by God, I'm all over the place.
I circle the world, live among debris,
You leave behind, you ruined your planet,
Now you want to...

DEFORESTATION
~~
Topical Tree Poetry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Deforestation rife!
From copse to woodlands
And trees on their own suffer the knife!
Deforestation rife!
Rainforest to jungles,
Arboretums to parklands suffering strife
Deforestation rife!
There is suffering unseen.
To all macro, micro, wildlife.
Deforestation rife!
The whole world pays,
yes you, if...

In poetry, I express the way I know best.
That garbage can be recycled
That burning fossil fuel kills, it's past that test
Pollution, with life it has trifled.

How many words must a poet write,
To convince all, that...

Lost in the green, leafy space,
Resting on his back out in the country,
The old hermit picks himself up and stands.
He begins the morning trek in the forest
Admiring the nature filled scenery—
The last retreat from the...

Make the world Greta again.


The world is on fire and you just sit there getting higher.
Inhaling the pollution, you are no solution.
Neither are you the answer, but you can change the question.
I call you a...

After a long, cold winter, I become anxious for the next season,
Bringing ever longer days, fresh flowers and green grasses,
Colours of every hue imaginable found in the new blooms,
Dried vines and old growth removed from...

My grandfather 
You have killed all panthers
And I can’t see any panda
Is it because of thunder?
Sometimes I wonder
But in fact it’s because of hunters

You built your home indeed
But you knowledge is like a homicide
Your absence...

Since industrialization there’s been agitation frustration palpitation trepidation vociferation
And unequivocal asseveration in favour of our planet’s welfare glorification and protection

Premeditated or not, the results on the planet are nothing short of brutalization and martyrization
Damage is...

God’s is the realm beyond man’s understanding.
Underway is rapid and rabid deforestation of God’s domain.
As science expands, so does the chasm 
between God and men.

Men think. 
Thinking gives men science.
Men love science. 
Men love themselves.
So...

Let the rivers flow as they want to be
Let the flowers shine in their brightest glow

To its heart’s content, wherever it wants to go.
A daily thought, a silent...

Yesterday tropical storm Isaias battered Lindenwood,
I saw people walk past those trees bent by a vicious wind;  
they lost their umbrellas and their baseball caps:
they were warned to stay inside to avoid slips and...

Miserable Stump Am I


What a fine morning it was....
With an axe I saw him come
One, two, three trees he passed
Before fixing gaze on me.

The menacing axe so bright....
By the way he removed it
From his shoulder,...
