World of Filth
Humans are destroying mother earth
fertile lands toxic, decaying rebirth
air, land and sea are heavily polluted
deforestation, extinction, trees uprooted
corporations profit, not a care for our well being
asthma, emphysema, difficulties breathing
diseased animals, FDA approves to consume
aquatic life tainted, lead in our blood stream, awaiting doom
man made diseases, a global threat to our demise
extinction is certain, time to revolt, time to rise

There are no geese at Coastguards
There are no geese at Coastguards
It's not unheard of for the sea to abandon
everything by morning.
I go when the tide is low
have always wanted to see the full shape of land
undressed as an island.
While taking a loop,
only accessible when she's out there -
and I'm back in,
we become
somewhat restful.
I spot a barrel,
petrol blue,
larger than a jutting stone,
half full and languishing on one side -
goose barnacles attached to his ribs,
screaming for life, small heads
seeking, rising,...

The likes of no one draw near
Times of change, a growing fear
Upon the ocean my dreams all died
Ever since the full moon rises the tide
Watching the world precisely through my lens
Famine & Poverty will never end
Times of change, a growing fear
Upon the ocean my dreams all died
Ever since the full moon rises the tide
Watching the world precisely through my lens

The Outside World
Always under construction
Racing, smoking, buzzing
Always for a profit
Chopping, selling, consuming
Always thinking of the self
Yearning, criticizing, idolizing
The outside world seems so dirty and cruel
It is the cleanest mirror I have ever seen
Racing, smoking, buzzing
Always for a profit
Chopping, selling, consuming
Always thinking of the self
Yearning, criticizing, idolizing
The outside world seems so dirty and cruel
It is the cleanest mirror I have ever seen

Polluted Poetry
Seagulls thrive on trash
Man created a hellhole
Will we ever learn?

My Glorious Neighborhood
Did I ever tell you I live in a town called Cesspool?
This place is located anywhere from sea to contaminated sea
Other towns you may have seen or heard
Sump, Filth, Hellhole, and Scum will make you want to flee.
Scoundrel's, vermin and miscreants creep in
Pestilence is on the rise
Industry & agriculture has seized operations
Staggering numbers of crime, drugs & suicide.
Job opportunities lost
Gentrification isn't the solution
Dead end jobs with no future
Children dying because of pollution.
We need to...

Where I currently reside
Is filled with murder and suicide
Polluted lakes and streams
Sad reality is what it seams
Tainted death and polluted lands
Oceans toxic as well as the sand
Sooner then later change is what we need
Mother earth is dying, this is my final plea
Is filled with murder and suicide
Polluted lakes and streams
Sad reality is what it seams
Tainted death and polluted lands
Oceans toxic as well as the sand
Sooner then later change is what we need
Mother earth is dying, this is my final plea

The Machine is...2024 (Depressing Poem Warning)
The machine is
Hungry for money
Thirsty for blood
The machine is
The breathless immortal
Sniffing at your door
Screaming in the dark
The machine is
Born from the machine
Heart frozen
Soul washed
Mowing forests
Carving deserts
Leaving pits of filth
Toxic air
Toxic sea
Toxic land
Toxic animals
Belts of slaughter
Under Poison rain
Turning millions insane
The machine is
The mechanical vampire
Sucking on your fear
Draining time ...
Hungry for money
Thirsty for blood
The machine is
The breathless immortal
Sniffing at your door
Screaming in the dark
The machine is
Born from the machine
Heart frozen
Soul washed
Mowing forests
Carving deserts
Leaving pits of filth
Toxic air
Toxic sea
Toxic land
Toxic animals
Belts of slaughter
Under Poison rain
Turning millions insane
The machine is
The mechanical vampire
Sucking on your fear
Draining time ...

Steam From Radiator
I sat on the porch as a flower bloomed on a beautiful spring day.
News of a shooting filled the air from within the living room.
My thoughts ebb and flow as the economy takes a turn for the worse.
Could a hurricane be the planet suffering from a flu caused by all the chemicals pumped out on a daily basis?
Buildings are giant tombstones that house the working class who are slowly dying with each fax that is sent.
We have elected fallible human beings to fix a world created by a divinity in whom there is no failure.
News of a shooting filled the air from within the living room.
My thoughts ebb and flow as the economy takes a turn for the worse.

We have elected fallible human beings to fix a world created by a divinity in whom there is no failure.

Guilty
Wheeling above
a lone gull cries
as a killer's reflection
stares back
from the rockpool at my feet
There is no life
only jagged grey plastic
with grubby green stubble
washed and unwashed
by each stinking tide
I barely recognise
the boy in short trousers
who caught blennies
and gobies here
kept crabs in a bucket
rushing to Mum
with a five pointed star
Only the rocks look the same
crouched sterner than naked time
pouring scorn on our madness
while the wind screams murder
into my eyes
a lone gull cries
as a killer's reflection
stares back
from the rockpool at my feet
There is no life
only jagged grey plastic
with grubby green stubble
washed and unwashed
by each stinking tide
I barely recognise
the boy in short trousers
who caught blennies
and gobies here
kept crabs in a bucket
rushing to Mum
with a five pointed star
Only the rocks look the same
crouched sterner than naked time
pouring scorn on our madness
while the wind screams murder
into my eyes

The Republican;
Here we understood to be a soul
Who long ago gave a damn for justice,
But craved much more power and control
Than the Roman emperor Augustus!
So much it meant for him to be the boss
That no other determinant mattered.
And so with time, and the Christian cross,
They made all ethics brutally scattered.
Yet still they claimed the high ground moral,
Represented by president Trump,
Who's as deadly blanched as pacific coral,
Soaking, in a petrochemical dump.
And if you think that there's a future...
Who long ago gave a damn for justice,
But craved much more power and control
Than the Roman emperor Augustus!
So much it meant for him to be the boss
That no other determinant mattered.
And so with time, and the Christian cross,
They made all ethics brutally scattered.
Yet still they claimed the high ground moral,
Represented by president Trump,
Who's as deadly blanched as pacific coral,
Soaking, in a petrochemical dump.
And if you think that there's a future...

Treason of Speech
We are jacks of the sabotage trade
Who can't help but to destructively test
All that nature has lovingly made
Including the gift of language addressed
Toward all the things for granted we took
Like worthy schools of untainted thought
Paid forward with a sustainable book
Where ancient nuance was quickly forgot
Or banned by factions of malice and greed
Fostering stupid like it was a crop
That every ape didn't know it would need
Until encouraged to needlessly shop
The sick ideation markets of gain...
Not giving a damn for personal...
Who can't help but to destructively test

Fostering stupid like it was a crop
That every ape didn't know it would need
