Seasons
the Earth's rotations
the Earth's revolution
Seasons
the full moon
the half and crest moon
the moon's revolution.
Industrial revolution
man's achievement
Industrial revolution
Earth's doom
Industrial revolution
Man's demise
Man's gain, Oxygen's loss
Environment's loss
Carbon's gain
Green House gases
Ozone's nemesis.
(Written on the 20th of March, 2015)
Flash floods, prolonged droughts
Ozone's nemesis
Excessive heat, extreme cold
Ozone's nemesis.
Every tree felling
Is Oxygen's loss
Is Carbon's gain
Ozone layer depletion
Humanity losing out
In the end game.

The poet begins the reading
'I'm sentimental if you know what I mean.'
'Oh, that's good!'
I thought about this cuckoo hissing
At the Botanical Gardens
He'd also mediated on the stratosphere
That sponge up above
Accordingly, so did I too
Footslogging around the museum
I took a sufti at my phone by the toilets
A headline caught my attention
Liverpool to sack Jürgen Koop
Kooped up in this nightmare exhibition
We came across a giant redwood
The trunk constructed out of metal
To enlighten the children
To prepare them for the future
My son explains his steam engine
A whole troupe of burly men
Black soot and freezing cold snow
Three layers of woollen jumpers
Sod the blast pipe carbon dioxide
Your Austrian Giesl burp
There are bigger concerns
Than soil degradation
Yes, the fireman is wearing clothes
The shoveller is wearing clothes
But the driver is naked

Big Job
There's a big job breaking out
Time for smelling salts and focus
There is no magic wand this time
No top-hat hocus pocus
Time to wheel out heavy gear
Flex our muscles and get busy
Pick ourselves a loyal team
With dreams so high they're dizzy
There's a big job breaking out
And it's clear we need to fix this
Sticking plasters just won't do
For this world defining crisis
Labourers to garden,
Experts in their field
Anyone who cares enough
To bring this crop to yield
Shoulder to the grindstone
Knuckles cracked and ready
Wrestle with the challenges
And climb to heights so heady
Engineers and carpenters
Housewives, teachers, leaders
No time to waste. No shirking off.
Ask everyone to heed us
There's a big job breaking out
Blue lights are flashing by
Too much plastic in the ocean
No more ozone in the sky..
We need healers for creation
For neglecting all our duty
The reflection may be ugly
So it's time to bring back beauty

Put fossil fuel to an End
Everybody just needs to Mend
We're ruining our Ozone Layer
And our Mother earth is in Despair
Lets declare no Fossil Fuels
Otherwise we are going to revise this lesson again & again
I think there's a Trick
Lets make all our cars go Electric
Maybe use the power of Solar
Help our earth's weather from going Polar

Dams, mining, extraction and fracking!
Logging, trawling, oops this urban expansion!
Plastic, toxic sludge and fertilisers,
Industrial revolution, Mass production!
Rising pollution and depleting fossil fuel.
Expanding population, you greedy humans!
Squeezing nature and melting glaciers
Chocking gases creating Climate conundrum.
Speeding extinction, your helpless restrictions.
Destructing ozone layers, eroding my very foundations!
The earth in pain whispers to me:
Why are you causing this depredation?
Look at my dereliction!
Please stop this destruction.

NASA
Sure put on busy on it’s peak
It’s true nothing to speak
Either busy on home work
Or working from home’s sake
At a time
The Globe is turned up side down like a roti
COVID 19 stands in tact still
To remain all a total standstill
Globe is defunct like in no current day
Traffic movements no at all today
Up and down ways
North and South may
Earth is escaped for sometimes of pollution
Carbon that cars burn in no trace even for want of medicine
It’s time to look at the Ozone’s leak
To see it’s all right now with all sort lacks
Whether it’s still remains weak?
Whether to extend what’s happening on Earth now for a further week?

"APOCALYPSE!"
We are slowly but surely leaning towards the final hour
though it feels more like a hoax,
It is upon us.
The subliminal signs in the sky heralding the days,
lurking stealthily for its prey...
we wont see it, we wont heart it and
it will strike whilst we slumber or is it?
All will run for cover ,
But it will be too late!

The USA is not a player
Trying to save the Ozone layer
There's cash to be made
Making people afraid
And blue skies quite a bit greyer!

Donald Trump believes the O-zone layer
Must be a kneeling NFL player
Thrusting a fist
Into the mist
But, unlike Trump, its just a taxpayer!

Yesterday cliche of a colored rainbow.
The archaic arc is a banal kitsch, too low.
Poets.... they don't stop using it although.
It's just optical science....no hologram show.
The hackneyed story... 'sun meets rain'.
The 'love' seen for years... again and again.
A tired metaphor.. nothing new to explain.
That pot of gold mocks.... the 'gays' in pain.
The VIBGYOR chroma has had long monopoly.
Poets of tomorrow....please search other simile.
Colors are now cold... don't hold them clammily.
Beautiful?!!..Oh.. Boring, ..Depressing actually.
Let's dig some Ozone holes in the sky.
How does it matter?
We'll see Ultraviolet...
We'll see Infrared...
Who says it's a disaster?
Let's turn, Black and White', the pretty colored laughter.
Don't let that shining visual smile live happily ever after.

OZONE STILL OUR'S!
-Dharga Nagar Safa
Oh pooh burning and sweating pajamas,
Buckets of water from the Venus in vain,
The skin of the lives in wombs changing colors,
Raise,....raise and raise in God's name!,
All Nobel hands of fame,
Join your winning themes,
To repair the wounded ozone with the mix of your brains!
Oh Pooh! burning and sweating all pajamas!

The creator gave me a big and wide blanket
to cover plenty families
to shield them from burning flame.
I did this successfully for many years
but now my blanket is full of holes
holes!produced by the sons of those I`m suppose
to protect and shield.
They pour chemicals on my blanket,
blanket!which is rare and very dear
my work is presently more difficult.
my blanket is now thinner and perforated,
burning flame now penetrates easily
causing lots of problems for the little ones.
stop fumigating me with this rubbish!,
I can`t take this any more,stop!I say stop!
so that I can complete my mission.

I suppose that I should apologize
Cutting her off in traffic was unwise
With finger she saluted
Air with vile words polluted
She clearly intended me to chastise
