Short Industries Poems

reared many rabbits by habit
to harvest cotton wool from them
for textile industries abroad
that they could make winter clothing
for charity to hot desert dwellers...

Belching wicked gasses bloat
Smoking stacks cough inside-out
Industries non-stop
Burning fuel around the clock
 Boot black soot covers all skies!...

Crimson chrome 
bitter bone covered 
in dust broken  
in rust of ages
as industries rage 
the sage of the ministry 
gathering the storm 
lost bits and pieces 
from the ages 
covers deep 
deep dark crimson crust....

Promises, promises, lies
Our youth can't find jobs nearby
No new industries arise
Upon dole handouts rely

In the rust belt loss of work is felt
as industries went overseas..
Bill's, Jane's and Bob's now pining
for jobs to support their families needs.
Good jobs are such a rarity and people here
don't want charity, so send us some good
companies please!...

Nature i am sorry
Sorry 
Sorry 
So sorry
We humans have eradicated you
Denatured you
Destroyed you
Humiliated you
Taken away you forests 
Your flowers
Destroyed your soil
For our houses industries and malls
I am sorry
My mother earth
I am sorry...

Two sides of an arrowhead

Mutually support independent industries
A man divided is never whole
Nuclear fascination, molecular fireworks
The atom split, armaments deferred 
Duality rings
Like chains waiting to be broken
Releasing man
Into spiritual adulthood...

Half of the world’s so called ‘scientists,’
who work for the military, part-time at least,
and many more for profits within industries,
that pollute, poison, and destroy the environment irreversibly.
These are not scientists. 
These are prostitutes or obedient opportunists....

The way industries ravish the earth,
   poison the air and spoil
      the waters

leads but to our destiny with gloom:
   greed, beyond need, spawns
      collective doom;

meanwhile, teetering along the line
   between destruction and
      creation

is the future of  generations:
   prosperity or
      catastrophe!...

Hippy hyena hid hipster hippo’s hysteria.
Ignominious iguana ignored Iceland’s icky industries.
Jovial jelly jars joyfully jumped jubilantly into June.
Kind kangaroos killed Kansas’s killjoy kindnesses.
Loving lithe llamas languished, lacking lonely leaders.
Marvelous magnificent magicians masqueraded as maestros.
Needless nutcrackers helped hippy hyenas hide hippos’ hysteria....
