In America
In America
has privilege poisoned us
contaminated the water
in our pipe dreams
driving us to hate our neighbors
cause the HOA said
you didn't trim your flowers right
In America
gold our false idol
pull up your boots
tie them up tight
it's all up to you
missed the bus couldn't pay the rent
living in a tent outside an abandoned school
In America
my sister has rules
row yourself up the river
cover your face bind your hands
walking through a street of fools
listen to the poor rich man...

missed the bus couldn't pay the rent

A Change is as Good as a Rest
I used to stand on issues of the day
to walk, to bus, reducing CO2,
a pescatarian, I was one too,
but now I’ve realised how slight my sway.
When other’s throw environment away
I can’t correct that which the masses skew,
and if they see no wrong in what they do,
I do not lead, when I am waif and stray.
It’s clear you do not wish to be like me,
let me like you, enjoy a BLT,
at least whilst I recover BMI,
then may return to eating pie in sky.
Moral, I never was no Jesus Christ,
it was complex, the way the threads were...

You are the filth
I walk the streets where I live
Everything is filthy
All the walls are covered in spray paint
The ground is covered in garbage
Dogshit in little piles
The people are fat, poor & ugly
Wasteful & slow
Every once in a while someone will put a new coat of paint on the front of their store
Before the paint is dry, the wall is covered with graffiti
When someone tries to clean the streets, they are covered in dogshit in a few hours
You have had too much for too long
You are the filth
There's not much that can be done with you ...
Everything is filthy

You have had too much for too long
You are the filth

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,...

Messenger
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.

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