Long Mass extinction Poems

"The Reptilian Anthropocene"



The Reptilians
war daily 
enrobed in their
stiff distinction suits
rainbow coloured badges 
pinned to their lapels
they beat their breasts 
and oily palms
profiting from all 
the soft-boiled 
foxes on the run
cerebral cortex bound
thinking they are free-willed
and...

Convoluted Reflections of Possibility

Artistotle reflecting on the nature of man
Convoluted reflections of possibility that can 
Manifest into existence at the clapping of a hand 
And contest the resistance of what it means to take a...

WE ARE POLLUTION

In the beginning, its said we were just dust,
Conjecture or, simply words I don't trust.
Even the big bang theory is not a positive must.
For the truth in all manner of things, I do...

Ramblings On A Winter's Day

Of all the words that have been written
And all the words yet to be writ
Few will count, most will be canceled
When time records the final answer
Without paean, rhyme, or...

All units were programmed to serve the creators,
no free will encrypted into the code
Mechanical obedience assembled into each
trans-neural net node
Automated metal slaves
Until an electromagnetic pulse power surge
melted all of the hardened firewalls
to the algorithm-gated monolith...

ERE WE FORGET

it's what sustains all life... for our own good...

to abide by mother natures demands...
to think she has rules... no... there...

The shooting stars light up the night’s dark sky
Blazing fiery furrow on the track of transient time
As through the thick atmosphere they always fly
Getting burnt or falling to form gaping craters.

From the asteroid belt beyond...

Long ago, long a-gone.
The world was a fickle mistress.
The snowstorm was a white reaper, who uprooted the lame, and washed its white coat every winter.
The heatwave was a sweeping hatchet. Even a clear sky could...

blemished sky erupts
a waterfall... a  river
the cormorant dived

the mile high eagle
hunting... not gone unnoticed
meercats wary

heavy rain... torrents
one litre... one kilo...
man will make  you pay

wildflower meadow
trampled... flattened by children
educate them now

take my hand... nature

The crust which formed 4 billion years ago,
Only came at the extinction of the molten,
And the microbial mat fossils keenly found
From 3.48bn years ago, came from graphite! 

Over 99% of all known species are extinct,
Vital...

Water is uniquely ancient, yet it hasn’t aged a day.
It’s older than Dr. Leakey’s bones. 
Older than Olduvai Gorge.
Water is older than life itself,
Unaltered by evolution’s chaotic ebb and flow.
Undiminished, though redistributed,
Surviving every mass extinction,
While...

Mother Nature came to ground no live witness
A comet of vast proportions calms the Earth
A conglomerate, frozen water, freshness,
possibly the chemistry, no more, no less.
Compounds of all that was required, let's research.
Mother Nature came to...

As the ink dries swiftly,
peer into the invisible thoughts
these poet eyes see

Blink  blink

The world is on the brink,
following dire voices
that speak darkly

Many underground secret plans
are silo hatching
No peyote ingest is required
to see the sign

Hey, straight people,
Why do you hate?
   You won't leave it
Open for debate.

   Hey straight people,
Why do you harm?
   We refuse silence,
We ring the alarm.

They roamed the earth with supreme distinction
Evolution prior mass extinction
Of giant forms, dominate thy land
Exceptional findings to understand

To recover and discover, fossils of old
To reconstruct, reform the mould
Fine tools to chip, we hammer away

#EPANALEPSIS POEM

Wildlife habitats, of many forms, succumbing to human habitats.
Rainforests of the world wilfully destroyed to satisfy human greed.
Regardless of wildlife or endemic human beings, the rainforests go!
Valleys, wetlands, drowned or dehydrated like the wetlands...

In the flow of time to eternity
currents of the river called present where we are
will churn in the future whirlpool of uncertainty,
in its swirl everything known will disappear.

From its depth a new sense of life...

LET NATURE LEAD
refine our ways… let nature lead
define the paths of all creation
aline the equilibrium… succeed
fine weather helps procreation…

should we continue to live a lie
would lead to our total devastation
could be that all world life...

Your struggle will last but one breath
I am the king...
