Short Nature Society Poems

The observer of
The incident around us
Sometimes it’s so true
But sometimes dishonesties
All they see is truth and lies...

On what do we run in this silly rat race?
Oils we suck and pills for our face.

Fossils for fumes and poisons for potions,
We brew for our brains, which we spill in the oceans....

Babes
flesh of her
with the audacity
to crown themselves
lords
if not gods
masters of all
all
natural

fools 
at her feet

As every kingdom falls
Nature alone
knows immortality...

In a city you are a sheep
among hungry wolves 
and mighty lions.

A prey, who prays
for a better fate,
but Nature hears not
the sheep bleat,
It favors
howling of wolves
and lions that roar....

From a little sapling to a tree,
He grows, he grows to be,
Stuck to its roots still,
Can’t go anywhere, can’t be free,
Stuck in the soil,
His own not allowing him to go,
He just sits there, where he sadly grows...

Why do partisan social activists preach
so much about growing a more equitable society
while doing Business As Usual

While environmental activists student teach 
with us
to develop a more synergetic EarthTribe?...

Do not be sad in society.
If friends hurt you often,
go to nature in the  jungles.
Flowers will smile at you.
Birds shall sing melodies.
Plants will offer you fruits
Foliage will give cool shelter
What other love do you want?...

Fall and
red yellowing 
leaves in the trees

an old man sitting 
on a bench
watches them 
fall
and thinks of his youth

a youth 
sitting on a bench
looking into his iPhone
simulates the falling 
red yellowing leaves
and googles 
the future 
of trees...

On the surface the water is nice,
To step in and swim would cost you no price
But when you step in, you feel a sharp pull
It comes from the water that seemed gentle and cool
The rippling liquid pulls you down under,
Is everything how is appears?
Its this that I wonder........

Again from the shadows
Rises that scoundrel
Riding on envy
Armed with naked cynics
Dedicated not to betray
The Lord of hatred
For he is ordered
To scoff the adore
Yet he is unsure
About the shine that still hold
Eternal is the nature’s mystery
What comes in its way, becomes history....

The atrocity of greed has never reached so high;
The morality of man has never plunged so low.

For who but greed-fueled man would commit such an act,
forcing vanguards to poison what they were born to protect?

Across the sea, the souls of trees weep;
Into our lungs, the stink of death creep....

Listen to poem:

cold harsh desolate terrain
where life to us seems hostile and cruel
gardens painstakingly nurtured
with minimal returns

so much effort so little gain
yet a most appreciative and spiritual people
atop their mountains so close to God

Guider of Nature
Guides life through winter, spring, summer, and autumn 
Through  dark, cold, bright and warm _______
Guiding a desolate world to prosper

Leaders in the crowd
Leak orders on their own feelings,gains, or losses 
For selfishness, ignorance or fame-gaining_________
Leading a quiet society into confusing...

Morning dew falls, dripping down 
like tears down humanity's pain
following the setting sun
bloodshot eyes

Earth.. nature... society
tearing at the seams 
in anguish
titans in conflict

Minds fertile 
in vast oblivion
lost in direction 
on paths fogged to truth

Mre we powerless to(o)
effect change
or is the choice 
to be powerless...

two-legged ants dart
around & through
a holographic city
overcome by
  an illusion of order
overwhelmed by
  a terrestrial constellation 
  under cacophonous con(de)struction

six-legged ants dutifully
transport breadcrumbs to tiny 
chasms in the mottled dirt
where cool dark silence 
briefly mollifies
  a holographic planet
  under careless (de)construction...

The Fox and the Bear
We can’t even hear
So were they even there
As sometimes man just never cared
We therefore killed fox and bear

But who was it that killed Jack Rabbit
I think we just got in a habit
We don’t though need to kill
We just need bring our skill
To save the planet

Fox and bear – I do hope you are still out there
As I for one do really care

DAMO...

where is everybody
the streets are bare
so eerily apocalyptic
a post nuclear scene
winter lingers ~ in sunless crisis
a dreadful silence lurks
thick heavy clouds droop nigh
spring may not come
we may never recover
wait…
is that a crocus ‘neath that tree?

   human nature
        is not...
   human nature
    is not natural
      what is it
     it surrounds
      our being  
      it's woven
        into us
      truly, it's
    society's and
 culture's influences
        merged
 that's human nature

I come from a place with Mahogany trees,
With bowers of fragrant flowers surrounded by bees,
I come from a land where within it- culture and language differ,
Still humanity and brotherhood is what we prefer.

I come from a place where the poor are fed,
A place where throughout the host's house the guests are led,
A place where love and humanity is filled,
Where towers of care, trust and hope in our hearts we do build....

I once saw two little ants
one in front and one in back
carrying on a small dance.
For the front ant was quick
as they carried a beetle load
often the back would slip.
Racing to the front from behind
the back spoke to front in excited terms
giving a piece of his ant's mind.
Cooperation is what gets job done,
gets the meal home,across this driveway, 
out of this hot sun.
So learned from little ants
when I looked at life's little items
and I saw little ant's dance....

Wild wild wild, keeps chanting my mind
That is where I belong
To be up on the world stage and perform
To jump in the air and land on the grass
Elated by the life’s concert
It’s a constant bass

Give me a forest
And take back your lawn
Lying on the mulch
The ants crawl
Over my dead mask
Wearing it was such a horrendous task

Watch me slip
Into the madness, you call
But Peace it truly is
Just once try and recall
You have trod this path too!
So why are you now appalled?...

Commuters hurry to catch their trains
   Streams' currents' flow lazily by
Office workers race to beat deadlines
   Winds whisper softly and sigh

The lunch-hour crowd wolfs its food down
   As ears of corn beam at the sun on their stems
At the end of the day, traffic's jammed out of town
   While sun's rays glisten in plush forests like gems

We frightened mice scurry and scamper, to what avail?
   As Nature's majesty courses through river, valley and dale...

If I have time to walk alone
in the lanes of prohibited rhyme
I'll choose a path to make it taste better than wine
Love!  love! for all we know I'll open my soul and take a walk alone.
Love the universe more than clone
I shine
within broken line
Asking myself to blossom while taking a walk alone.
Listen carefully, ears on me never go – but go home
for broken line may intertwine
creating a path better in time
But I, you, me must go home to the untaken path alone....

The world is somehow a pomegranate
Every individual of us in it is the seeds 
Having stayed similar to juicy tastes 
Holding together long yawning for grace 

Dreaming to germinate in the spring breeze
And to grow up and stand tall in the soil 
Blooming virtually and quietly in the Sun-rays 
And to appeal the amethyst  for your please
 
Oh, lord! You'd be proud  of thee for all
For so many myths, you leave there to face 
And so many choices given alike in blind dates...
