Premium Member THEN CAME MAN
Into this world came modern man and to exploit it he began. One day he dug beneath the ground and lots of black rock there he found. He said, ‘What can I do with this for it seems to be quite useless?’ Soon he learnt that the rock would burn and easy profit he could earn. ...

You'll get Yours -- Tooth for Tooth
12 when I wrote this, from the perspective of a mushroom. My gills grasping at air, but the grass is not too far; My scales glimmering stupidly to shine through watered tar. And in the gaseous tarmac world, I shine here far too bright, And oh, the air, too stale if for my gills to get it right. I long...

Environmental Concerns
Ponder the old pestles and mortars used at times in apothecaries, older drug emporium quarters. Some of the porous surface was shared by grinding both mortar and pestle ending up in medicines prepared. Do today's microplastics alarm you? Minute particles endanger us all; microwavable repercussions? Whew!...

Doom's Date - Mar 5
Doomsday’s dismal dawn, in the deep distance, Is our dusk, the diadem of decadence; Daunting and depthless, a dark and doleful dirge Deems this dungeon of demons due for death...

Changing Tack
Enrolling as a pirate is much harder than it seems, You’ll need to speak in present tense and chase your wildest dreams. Well, once you’ve trained a parrot and been measured for your hook, You have to plough through pages of the health and safety book. The pointed end’s the bow, whilst your rudder’s near the aft, Our crow’s...

Premium Member The Withering Grace
A Closing Reflection Is it not true that we look for forgiveness for our feigned ignorance's For the hypocrisies we allowed because they served us? We ask to be forgiven Not because we changed But because we are afraid of what’s coming. As if the Earth were a mother Who always welcomes us home Even when we’ve burned the field. But forgiveness is no longer...

Save them that you hurt by hurting the world
You’ll kill your only dog because you don’t remember the sound of a bullet like him. The sea rises The sea consumes The sea doesn’t give back You’ll fear a never coming fire after you hear your cousin burnt alive and hide from the smoke you don’t inhale. The sea rises The sea consumes The sea doesn’t give back When you looked...

Premium Member Whispering trees
Listening through the surrounding trees. Sound of whispers heard from a slight breeze. Cries heard in the distance, as the breeze comforts The leaves. Words joined together while starting to hear, how the leaves Fear the airs no-more clear, feeling for the leaves as-if nobody believes. In a still small voice it whistles an sings. The song of hope lies within the trees, as the...

Present
Was angry at something Played football Alone among the hiding birds The evening sky Coughing colors Allergic to the grey forms the factories cause My mind lazily grazing upon the festicied crops I guess this is What present looks like No one gives a at all Building skycrapers Above our heads One earthquake, And it all falls.......

Premium Member We were all told that this day was coming
We were all told that this day was coming, when we'd no longer hear the bees a-humming, when we could no longer trust that the fields would ever again produce their requisite yields. But who had expected it to be this soon before the promised second coming?...

Premium Member Do You Ever Stop and Look Around?
We live in a beautiful world So lucky we are, nature gives but we take far too much nature as I speak is crying. Go for a walk away from every day life look up into the sky, mountains a-high breath taking soar high up on most sides some are snow covered, others we see green. Grass and trees fill their slopes...

Premium Member Echoes of a Silent Shore
Echoes of the Silent Shore Garbage, raw sewage, needles, syringes, food wrappers. Plastic, cans, bottles, trash, oily sand, old fishing line. I stand on the shore and I see waste and destruction everywhere. If nothing is done, the only sound will be the waves crashing into a silent shore. ...
