If Mother Earth Came Forth Today
If Mother Earth came forth today
she'd throw her hand up, and would say.
"Oh my dear world what have you done?
Look closely at what you've become."
Humanity with no regard
to live in peace can't be too hard!
Destruction, pillage, selfish greed,
all comes from want, and not from need.
You strip the trees, the soil is bare
You mine my lands

Mother Earth
Her clouds are dark and heavy.
So, like tear-drops falling from our eyes,
like a cry of joy or sadness, she rains.
Her oceans are blown by heavy winds.
So with twirls across the sea, she rings hurricanes.
Quite often she has pains and heartaches.
So she wakes us with shakes and quakes.
Her volcanic mountains blow,
And her rivers overflow.
So she floods,
Leaving

Eulogy for a Bonsai
I have to come clean as I return to see
your ashen corpse and dried leaves
My survival became more important than yours
but now I feel badly.
Humans choose to love their own selves
More than anyone they choose to love
Don’t believe what they say in their poems
I loved you because you would tempt

Let me return to Mother Earth
My play’s last scene when comes to end, when ends
My pilgrimage, its last laborious mile,
It’s time to call the curtain in a while,
Time ‘tis to say goodbye to my dear friends…
And to show up oh for the Judgment Day,
My flesh unto atoms ready to merge,
Whilst all but subtle vestiges

Save Mother Earth
Without nature there'd be no life
Upon this planet some refer to as Earth
Whereas as others called it Mother Earth
Humanity has a great deal to comprehend
But firstly it would have to be that Earth
Is a multidiverse life force
Where one cannot survive without the other
We must save all of our natural world
Forests, jungles, ocean

MOTHER EARTH, TAKE CARE OF HER AND SHE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU
As I LOOK AROUND ME AND SEE THE DESTRUCTION THAT WE HUMANS HAVE COST, WE ARE DESTROYING OUR PLANET, WITH NO REMORSE, WE PROUDLY PROCLAIM THERE IS NO CLIMATE CHANGE "IT IS A HOAX" EVEN THOUGH WE ARE FACED WITH MORE EXTREME WEATHER, HURRICANES, FLOODS, FIRES, EARTHQUAKES, DROUGHTS, FAMINE.
PEOPLE LOSING THEIR LIVES AND MOST LOSING

MOTHER EARTH
May we all be blessed to understand
When we walk among her trees, her mountains, her rivers, her flowers
It is only through our arrogance
that we think of Mother Earth as a resource
instead of our inheritance

Sacred Mother
My people walk upon the Earth gently,
respectful of those who walked before
whose atoms mingle in the stardust
sprinkled from shore to shining shore.
My people hold Her sacred,
and cling to a long-chanted prayer
that all who walk upon Her face
will find sacred teachings there.
My people feel Her spiraling rhythms
And Ghost Dance to Her holy hum.
We touch Her

AS BEAUTIFUL AS WE FOUND HER
May we be blessed wherever we walk upon Mother Earth
wherever we happen to be
to take a moment look around
and bask in all the beauty that we see.
And when we depart each place we’ve walked…
after basking in all the beauty that surrounds her…
may she be blessed that we have left her
as beautiful as we found her.

Mother Earth: Garden Womb
Mother Earth:Garden Womb
She is not virginal
Not unused
Not pure
Being ancient
and of old,
Inevitably,
Been touched before.
Many years
a widow,
She is a lonesome,
barren land.
So many
passing lovers;
Needing a faithful
Husbandman.
For she was present
In the first garden;
Feeling the slithering belly
Of the snake.
And when
the curse was given,
One womb quickened,
And The other
Was Laid waste.

Mother Earth, the Sage
In the depth of the night, a concerto commenced,
With drums of thunder and a melody of rain.
Wind flutes played loud sniveling notes,
Carrying pulsating tunes in blustery tones.
Streaks of lightening, with their baton of light,
Led the blasting orchestra with dynamic might.
Trees swayed wildly, leaves scattered with force,
Rain soaked the paths, shattering dense shadows.
As dawn tiptoed, with

Mama Has Left
Mama has left
She is no longer alive
She left Mother Earth
She is in the cemetery
Mom is further on
She is, here and there, really
Mother is gone
And no longer here
With us, under the sun
Mommy is in Heaven
She looks at us and she can hear
She's having fun, in a dream
To see us whine and scream
Mom is with the Virgin

Silvery Souls Soar
Their spirits sift through the ages
Soaring swiftly in song
Kings queens prophets poets
Martyr and messiah
Tattooing tongues teaching teal truths
For ages they are anxiously awaiting
YOU
The one who will pick up that torch
Glowing with orange golden fire
Blazing bequest that
Still burns bright despite
Time tearing at tissues
Souls setting sails persevere
Even in death and
Rather because of death
Launched
