You, unfeeling creatures
Who call yourselves human,
You, fleeting bubbles of reason,
Accidental parasites of time,
You, filthy microbes of cancer,
Ephemera of invincible eternity,
You, who try to fill your vanity
With abominable crimes,
You, insensible butchers of animals,
Notorious destroyers of pastures,
You, contaminators of oceans,
Deleterious polluters of rivers,
You, menacing beings of harmony,
Transgressors of universal laws,
You,
Who have deliberately put me through
The tormenting agony of dying
By
Strewing your treacherous dark web of
Your unworthy ambitions, all over my face,
Shadowing my generous fertility and
Rendering me sterile,
Behold,
For the time has come for you
To feel my wrath and my fury
Boiling lava over you
To flow every day,
Kneel,
Your tiny mortal beings
In front of the immortal cosmos,
For the shiny heavy sword of
Universal justice,
Avenger of transgressions, guardians of
The eternal laws,
Over your thoughtless heads to fall
With vengeance and rage
Decapitating most of you and
Those who would survive
Shall feel the torturing pain in
Their hearts
For
Uncountable years!*

* This poem I wrote in 1985 in Montreal, Canada, when, as a co-founder of a peace movement, I was making efforts to raise consciousness to save Mother Earth. "THE MOURNING OF MOTHER EARTH." THIS IS A STERN WARNING TO ALL OF US WHO DESTROY HER: REMEMBER, NOT MUCH TIME IS LEFT TO SAVE OUR PLANET AND OURSELVES!
Conscientiously Combat Contamination:
Pass punitive laws policing polluters
Keep chemicals from killing crops like corn
Plink and plunk pests with pure, perfect panaceas
Segregate and shun smokers of cigars and cigarettes
Contradictorily, Contribute to Contamination:
Permit and protect pernicious ***********
Validate, vindicate, and venerate video violence
Liberate, laugh at, and lionize lascivious language
Glorify and giggle at graceless, gutter-fed gossip
Counteracting Contamination
Can't cut both ways, can it?

It’s the Cocker Spaniels this time the media screams
I roll my eyes, wondering when the cats will get some blame
Or the monkeys, cheetahs, sharks or giraffes
They are diabolical, plotting your death, the announcer says
I do not plot her death, but I plot taping her mouth up.
The pit bulls were the last group to blame.
What about the housewives? Do they use environmentally friendly detergent?
or the house husbands….do they recycle their lard like grandma did?
How about the grandmas who feed their pets with Styrofoam?
We are the polluters.
We are the litterers.
We are the ones driving cars one person at a time.
But let’s blame the Cocker Spaniels.
I shut off the T.V.
War To End All Wars
It will be the war
On corporate polluters
The corporate polluters
Who deprive Our Children
Of clean air, clean water and clean food
These corporate polluters
Driven by ego and greed
Are relentless
In their pursuit of profits
To sustain their avaricious
Narcissistic lifestyles
*
Parents and their Children
Will be armed with Love, Courage
And Determination to
Dismantle the laws and policies
Allowing rampant pollution
To harm so many of us
Demand for corporate accountability
Will be heard from 'Sea to Shining Sea'
*
We are on the Edge of Existence
We and Our Children
Will not be pushed
Over the cliff
*
The Love we have for
Our Children
And their future
Will engender
A massive push-back
And a fierce stare-down
Of corporate giants
*
Governments will understand
A Mother's
Intense
Ferocious
Passion
To Save
Protect
Their
Children
The
Future
They
Deserve
*
Balanced through life's cup
our climate changes as war grips many poor souls
Caught victims in a maze poisoned by this pollution
Trillions dropped in bombs of grave suffering and devastation
the silent screams for justice that's never heard
Media no longer covers true facts bare to the bone
Holocaust where arms are supplied by powers at large
testimony witnesses living skeletons displayed
That would break your heart seeing such unbearable agony
Driven from their home lands by greedy tyrants
the greatest polluters of this world
Warmongers destroying cities and valuable relics
Amounts to the army of darkness never once showing
the olive branch of peace destroying seems to be all they live by
a sad story that is told over and over again

* This poem I wrote in 1985 in Montreal, Canada when, as a co-founder of a peace movement, was making efforts to raise conscientiousness to save mother earth. It was posted here on the 28th of November 2012 with the title:"The Rage of Mother Earth". Now, with minor editing, is re-posted with its original title of 1985: "THE MOURNING OF MOTHER EARTH." THIS IS A STERN WARNING TO ALL OF US WHO DESTROY HER: REMEMBER NOT MUCH TIME IS LEFT TO SAVE OUR PLANET AND OURSELVES!

**'Worst is yet to come': Disastrous future ahead for millions worldwide due to climate change, report warns. So it came to pass. What I dreaded back in 1985 is here, according to the UN report. The question is this: What can we do? What should we do? What we would do? LET US DO THE BEST WE CAN TO SAVE OUR EARTHLY HOME!
***I wanted to include this poem in the PoertySoup upcoming Anthology but poetrySoup says it has too many lines!
The Rage of Mother Earth
(Warning those who destroy HER)
You, unfeeling creatures
Who call yourselves Human,
You, fleeting bubbles of reason,
Accidental parasites of time,
You, filthy microbes of cancer,
Ephemera of invincible eternity,
You, who try to fill your vanity
With abominable crimes,
You, insensible butchers of animals,
Notorious destroyers of pastures,
You, contaminators of oceans,
Deleterious polluters of rivers,
You, menacing beings of harmony,
Transgressors of universal laws,
You, who deliberately have put Me
Through the tormenting agony of dying
By strewing your treacherous dark web
Of your unworthy ambitions, all over my face
Shadowing my generous fertility
And rendering me sterile,
Behold!
For the time will come for you
To feel my wrath and my fury
Boiling lava over you
To flow every day,
Kneel, you tiny mortal beings
In front of the immortal cosmos
For the shiny heavy sword
Of universal justice,
Punisher of transgressions
Guardian of the eternal laws,
Over your thoughtless heads to fall
With vengeance and rage
Decapitating the most of you
And those who would survive
Will feel the torturing pain
In their hearts
For thousands of years!

We gave our children the best start in life,
That set them on the path to higher education,
They have also turned out kind, caring and happy.
They all, like me, love Christmas and have been more than generous,
To others and all have good and true friends.
And have slowly but not without hiccups,
Learned the harsh realities about the Value of money,
Now understanding the need to sometimes go without or make do.
Have we taught them well?
Up till a few weeks before Christmas we were patting ourselves on the back,
As we looked around and saw how other children were faring,
That was until I reminded my eldest daughter
To sort her plastic and cardboard for the bins,
Her reply "I don't have time for that"
Has since put a dent in our ego's.
Now the questions shaking our peace of Mind.
Who will save the planet if they have not the time?
What led us to leave conservation out of the conversation?
And why did we not give them extra time to get down and dirty?
We have to face the fact that leading by example is of little help,
If we don't give them time to follow that example!
Extinction For Contest
Extinction is a word that no one really wants to hear
What celebrities wear, is what captures the publics ear.
Truth is often ignored, viewed as dirt, so it's swept under the rug
Facts about the earth's destruction are met with apathetic shrugs.
No one wants to hear about things like "Gorillas in the Mist"
When it's time for change there is always profits in the midst.
Profiteers and racketeers now control all of earth's treasures
Child and slave labour contributing to the greedy's pleasures.
Planet's dying, bleeding fossil fuels beyond all human measure
They pay no heed, live only for today, basking in their leisure.
Soon, very soon, the blameless will be saved by a marked distinction
The polluters and destroyers will be the next species facing extinction.

The paradox of this enigma
I am an enigma...
I am a paradox...
What am I?
Here's a clue...
I am used to put out fires...
but I burn too...
you can't see me but I exist...
you can't touch me but I'm real...
I am liquid, but I'm a gas too..
I am a river but you can't swim in me
I am H2O but...
you can't brush your teeth with me
what am I?
I am...
not a naturally occurring substance
I am... an anomaly
I am a man made
paradox that should
not exist but I do
I am...
water contaminated
with methane gas.
Methane gas sometimes
is released into the groundwater
contaminating it.
Now gas companies and
their conglomerates will tell you
that it is not true that
fracking the earth is
not causing the problem
and what is new?
polluters not taking responsibility
for their actions!
I know!
amazing right!
Meanwhile homeowners
cannot drink their
tap water and rivers are dying
all over the world.
All in the name of independence
to be self sufficient
in regards to fossil fuels.
Just one more evident
demonstration of how
poorly humans
are managing this planet.
Soon, very soon,
they will have to pay
not with money
but with their lives.
This is not a threat
just speaking truth.
See Revelation 11:18
where God says he
"will bring to ruin those ruining the earth"
what a glorious day that will be!
