Real Estate
Who wants to buy an island, beachfront property going really cheap
For a hundred grand the whole fucking island is yours to keep
Yes, that's right for one hundred thousand you can possess it all
The tons of plastic, glass, and paper products creating this ball
A floating mass of garbage, a problem that no one wants to solve
They just don't realize it's the ecosystem being robbed
All of that plastic poisoning the ocean, killing marine life
And who's catching more hell than the sea turtle's strife
The government wants billions to...

Toska
Looking up at branches to find no leaves
Wind blowing me right down to my knees
I try to call but there's no answer for me
Grabbing a beer and sitting up on the eave
The world is rendered in black and white
And no melancholy for bland plight
Nothing seems quite, nothing seems right
Grabbing a beer and heading up to the fifth flight
The factory breathes out its smoky haze
Cast across an orange sky on smoky days
Can't find the light, not a single ray
Grabbing a beer and heading for a daze
There is no earth just gray...
Wind blowing me right down to my knees
I try to call but there's no answer for me
Grabbing a beer and sitting up on the eave
The world is rendered in black and white
And no melancholy for bland plight
Nothing seems quite, nothing seems right
Grabbing a beer and heading up to the fifth flight
The factory breathes out its smoky haze
Cast across an orange sky on smoky days
Can't find the light, not a single ray
Grabbing a beer and heading for a daze
There is no earth just gray...

Iguanas' Land
The dance of the sun's splayed open
Tentacle rays
To trace the sand flea-bitten ground
Worn down by waves
Like chomping chewing Spinosaur teeth
And licking sticky candy pistils
Of cannibal flowers
Tinting with gold the green of snakes
And a blood bath of crabs
Tip-toeing on sulphurous broken glass
To gild the volcano lilies'
Hand grenade petals
Above a tangled web of zoodle seaweed
With its sea foam Alfredo sauce
This is where newspapers...

the earth convalescent
that the earth could be depleted,
like a seething crucible;
that mankind could be defeated,
how incomprehensible!
when God called light out of darkness

who could fathom human starkness
earth's new vile reality?

Maybe
There is no representation
for the Four-Footed
at any sovereign table;
neither is there a place
for the Feathered-Wing
to perch, void from bullet;
nor Finned-Fish to swim
free of baited hooks;
or, Earthen-Heartbeat
to drum her voice
Man considers himself
superior, but we are not
separate from Nature
One day we'll understand
that we occupy space
as everything in Creation
And, as everything in Creation
are just as susceptible

Earth: The Final Stand
We live in a Jungle
called Earth we need
to protect it from
all the bad shit that
we do to it because
we are the protectors
of the Earth from
The Predators who
wish to do it harm
Mother Earth will
help us keep it
clean while we
protect the Jungle
from the bad
Rift Raft that wants
to do it Harm
called Earth we need
to protect it from
all the bad shit that
we do to it because
we are the protectors
of the Earth from
The Predators who
wish to do it harm
Mother Earth will
help us keep it
clean while we
protect the Jungle
from the bad
Rift Raft that wants

What She Really Got From Smoking
She thought that smoking
would make her look cool but that
was before she got cancer.

.. earthling
.. on a giant rock you spin around
a Star at every morning you glee,
childishly you rebuke your gifts,
polluting earth’s air, soil and seas..
killing off the butterfly
and especially the honey bees, 🐝
will end the cycle of crops you eat
and beautiful flowers 🌺 you breathe,
not taking care of your life supports
will certainly drop you to your knees,
and.. if or when this is the case
in the sure report you’ll see..
no future oxygen...

Legacy
Give your collective heads a shake
Shoehorn them out of your arse
Greed is a deadly mistake
Grandchildren will suffer your farce
You'll leave them fancy cars
And a house too big to clean
But if they can't see the stars
What will your possessions mean
They'll mean you're a selfish twit
They'll mean you've gone to hell
Your legacy of destructive shit
Gives off a bitter smell
Your cars burn, or rust away
The house will be ransacked
The wild west will have its day
As outlaws plan attack

Neverending agony
Fractured thoughts ring right through
Reverberated thoughts clash with the walls
And my face contorts in terror
Do you understand what I'm saying?
White on white, sanitary walls and cotton sheets
Blue latex-free gloves, how they grip the skin tight
Now the air stinks of rubber and rubbing alcohol
Sidewalks on sidewalks on asphalt and concrete
The world is a series of multicolored lights
Red, yellow, and green switch and interchange
And the blinking red lights stream across the sky
So numerous they are indistinguishable from the...

.. terrestrial abuse
in earth’s existence,
where it’s not
life resistant,
a cosmos wink of an eye,
just a flash in the pan,
the “big time of man”,
in a millennium
do we try or do we die
carbons in the air,
fracking the ground,
drink and breath
if you dare,
the people hypnotized,
by political lies,
all looking around
with blank stares,
oceans choked with plastic,
forest abuse gone drastic,
as sea and wildlife
shamelessly die,
environmentally weakened,
domestically...

Chaos Is More Than A Theory
The same old refrain
more misery and pain
Satanic seduction
equals more death and destruction
Polar ice melting by the tons
more people shot with guns
Everyday more hate anger and fear
along with pollution is being released in our atmosphere
I submit to you all of the above makes me weary
and that-Chaos Is More Than A Theory
more misery and pain
Satanic seduction
equals more death and destruction
Polar ice melting by the tons
more people shot with guns
Everyday more hate anger and fear
along with pollution is being released in our atmosphere
I submit to you all of the above makes me weary
and that-Chaos Is More Than A Theory
