o the joy of
summer sunshine on my back
yet i drown in sweat

-----------

this summer heatwave
the death of so much life
we are all guilty

----------

still hearing nature
screaming for much-needed help
mass extinctions real

flora washed clean  
by torrential rain
extinction event

one inch of rain
in one hour
fledglings starve  

my eyes wide open
watching helplessly
mass extinctions real

swallows swift martins
gone at my location
the sky washed clean

In Australia’s darkest hours,
an ever-growing pyre
breeds a conflagration nation.
desolation, ruination
ravaged seas of deforestation;
extinctions’ ignition

finding solace within
her refulgent body,

The light is gone
Totally put out
Scarey to those that roam
To all that are about

Suddenly the thunder
Of James Rifle gun fire
The shells are asundered
So you better be aware

When the shelling's finished
All can declare
Very little dents
Done to you there

Your light's not sent
Completely extinguished
Never to burn again
Not from weapons of war

But at the hands of men
Possibly total extinctions from nature...

at one with nature... what's left
arpartied still reigns...

vistas of nature
o that monolith could talk
Australian woes

deforestation
all life suffers pollution
koala's left dead

crocodiles... wildlife
Australia's indigenous
extinctions for real
