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...

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

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.

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...

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

She showers,
She falls,
She drenches us...
But she shows off a rainbow... 

She shines,
She bursts,
She burns us sometimes...
But she lets the gentle breeze blow... 

She makes us love the rain
She makes us hate it again
She makes us...

Neither are you the answer, but you can change the question.

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...

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

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...
