Doom's Date - Mar 5Doomsday’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 TackEnrolling 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...

The Withering GraceA 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 worldYou’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...

Whispering treesListening 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...

PresentWas 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.......

FARTING FROM FACTORY FARMINGCow flatus now we start to fear
For it poisons our atmosphere
As it is global warming gas
That from those cow rumens does pass.
It adds more to our carbon curse
And this issue we can’t reverse,
Unless, of course, we eat less meat.
Should we forgo this tasty treat
To protect the earth’s atmosphere
From that flatus that now we fear?

We were all told that this day was comingWe 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?...

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...

What will it take
What will it take?
People taking stock
admit their failings
try to redress the damage done
but it's too late ~
Our planet clearly violated
it's easy to see
Beyond shame and guilt
there's you and me

Echoes of a Silent ShoreEchoes 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.

Protection Of The Tribes
In the heart of the forest, where the ancient trees stand tall
Lies a world untouched by time, where nature’s whispers call
Tribal people live in harmony, with the land and sky so wide
Their spirits intertwined with earth, in whom they do confide
Yet shadows creep upon the land, with axes sharp and bright
Logging ventures, bold and fierce,...

The Last Trees in Slab Citywho remembers trees
when air was free from fares
guiltless
tankless
unassailable
cliches of rustling leaves
enchanted forests
infanticidal practices like nestling newborns atop boughs
cordate declarations etched beneath oak bark and canary sashes
as dead as concrete blocks
and the nearest approximation is a toy broccoli flower
wire wools welded for steel...
