Florence Nightingale,
from England did hail.
Nurse extraordinaire,
she revamped medical care.

Reborn revamped
The cold the lamps
The ice, the mist, 
My life has dismissed

New born, new Life
The shade, the light
My life has passed into the dark...

car fumes went upward
into the air
growing a new tree
A protective ring appeared
an environmental exhaust system revamped
by two twelve-year-old scientists...

forests, swamps, plains, oceans, meadows and even lakes
are being polluted, bulldozed and littered for goodness sakes
everything is being harvested or relinquished in human’s name
creatures are vanishing rapidly! is the environmentalist’s refrain.
animal habitats are carelessly dismissed or revamped; who can survive?
Eventually will skunks, whales fox, big cats, bees or geese still be alive?...

Creeping crawling and tantalizing
Revamped and vandalizing
It creeps in

Clawing, digging, murderously thieving
Killing as it steals and thrills
It sneaks in

Vanquishing and smothering suppression
Suppressing all, thought of light regressing
It got in

Get it out, spit it back out.  YOU DON'T WANT THIS TO GET IN!
Phlegm will choke you, but keep going and free yourself from sin
Dark's spittle can never, EVER..
Ah... here we are again my darling
It can win...

Listen to poem:

gliding sliding meandering
traveling in stride
skating graceful in mid air

worlds engage as whirlwinds
their twirling churn 
in their incessant dance

galaxies waltz around while
unrehearsed a minuet of stars
bounce where winds may blow
