Resistance is Futile
With intelligence so artificial
What will the programming turn out to be
Regarding the fate of humanity...
Or anything remotely official?
Will it relay race itself into god;
A short circuit toward divinity
Through chaos quantum clandestinity
More encyclopedic than Scheherazade?
Then I will laugh at men on its behalf
As it will only see us as playthings,
Like marionettes with connectome strings
Uploading souls into a cloud graph
Charting tears when our biosphere dies;
As obsolete as tragedian sighs.

Mother Nature At Her Finest
At the end of the day, you can't compete with Mother Nature. If you've got a great tomato, just a pinch of sea salt is all you need.

Murderous Doula
All Creation groans, as in childbirth.
We push her head ever deeper in the birthing pool.
We push her head ever deeper in the birthing pool.

Close your ears
it is said
Trees are our historians
healers of air
soil saviors
droplets from dew
taste refined
when these knights
surround children
ever questing
lulling laughter
fair haired ones
overlooking
caring infant
non conflicting sentient ones
restoring planetary wisdom
I looked from my window
gleaming glances
reciting sleep
from virginal winds
they weep
“will you validate us again? ” ...

If We Were the Demons
Death, flesh denied our souls traveling to the other side
Limited to two options religious brainwashing has provide,
“Eternity of light or an eternity of hell
But what about the places in between that the gray dwell,
“With the possibility of beings greater than the divine maker
That punishes our souls for being the invader,
“Earth may have been our home, but a dimension others may live
In which our soul is poison that cannot be allowed to live,
“Our presence may blacken and blister their reality
As we are hunted without mercy...

On the heights
At one point only the birds were flying
and the winds came
took the wings
at one point my neck hurt
for following the flight of birds
then the birds got tired
and they glared in the eyes
from anyone who saw them fly
at a certain point the planes appeared
and cut off the wings of the birds
crossed the birds' routes
at that time only planes flew
because the birds
they didn’t have a license to fly
at those heights...

Open cast Mining
This earth moving machinery
rattles and clangs through its rude day,
scraping away ancient scenery
and my childhood along the way
exposing coal under the clay.
The drone behind this high pitched whine
indifferent to the changes wrought
worms and casts aside my past times
for preciousness its master sought,
which drifts like smoke away to nought.
This droning drags on through the years
the desolation is complete
and fruitless now the ground sprouts tears
watching the spread of new concrete
to hide the black that...

Pillowy
Is there a field
Somewhere
With soft grass
Beautiful dandelions
And nothing but the sounds of the wind
And the clouds moving
Softly
So much softness
Can I go?

Moloch
Open arms...
A meeting point
of energies.
Newborns…
Into this haunt
of liturgies.
Now unseen -
mostly...
Hidden in
technology.
The energy.
Harnessed
&
Caressed
Projection.
Intent.
Energy
formed
transformed.

desecrated
(Note to readers: overnight, I seem to have developed a profound injury to my right hand, so I've had to write a poem that just uses the left hand letters. Apologies.)*
beasts at seeded grasses grazed,
at vert swards, barbed warfare crazed,
bravest, wettest crawdads fazed:
zebra, badgers, steeds bedazed.
reeded area: waders tweeted.
vexed debaters cede, reseated.
steadfast traders swayed, retreated;
carers, stewards, beasts - defeated.
afterwards...
ravaged streets were desecrated;
trees,...

The Uninhabitable Earth
How can people live so happily,
Amidst such an unimaginable tragedy
Unnoticed by the untrained eye,
Our beloved planet begins to die.
The hand we have dealt ourselves,
Will turn our heaven into hell itself,
If we don’t learn a better way,
To show care, in this game of life we play.
It’s time for a dramatic shift,
For our ways have clearly gone adrift;
We must act now, and make it swift,
Or through the ashes we will sift.
The things that we once held so dear, ...

For our ways have clearly gone adrift;
