We Are Our Own Creation
I’m standing at the ground level of existence
Looking around at the ridges and mounds of persistence
The erosion of my depression has terra formed the mounts
I attempt to climb the levels between needs and wants
Each level is sow with a different version of my pain
From row to row I choose to reap me again and again
Calluses built, nails broken, as I climb between levels
At the base, life wasn’t acknowledged as I lied with the devil
But he had no use for humans and he screamed, “fuck earth”
Hahaha, he pissed on nothing, and asked me...

The Earth Speaks with Anger
I am Earth; I am a life form that can live forever.
My formation is a spectacle to behold.
I am the most beautiful planet in the constellation.
From my soil, humans were taken.
And to my soil, they will certainly return.
Mortal beings have a short lifespan.
I keep all creatures alive for a limited time.
Mankind is an undesirable being.
I regret that man was made out of my resources.
Foolish humans have polluted my atmosphere.
I can hardly protect myself from the sun.
They have spoiled my beauty with deforestation.
My pure water...

Not All Poetry Is Pretty
.. and it shouldn't be
throwing ourselves
at descriptive ways
of making a
flower
sound
more beautiful than
the sight of it
or making our
depression
seem more serious
than the next bloke
blinding ourselves ...

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

Sing Louder. Buy cheaper.
I bought myself a new solar panel
to try to save the world.
It said, 'Made in China' on it.
Probably produced in a coal powered
solar panel factory
But it was cheap, and convenient.
I didn't sleep well last night
The road traffic kept me awake.
The birds must have a similar problem.
Do they now sing louder to each other?

The End of the World (translation of 'Der Weltuntergang' by Franz Hohler)
(translation from German, Veronika Bond)
The end of the world,
ladies and gentlemen,
given what we know today,
will go something like this:
In the beginning, on a fairly small island in the South Pacific,
a beetle will vanish,
an unpleasant one, and
everyone will say,
That beetle’s gone, at last, thank God
the horrible itch it used to cause,
and it was always full of grot.
A little later, the inhabitants of this island will notice
that early in the morning
when the birds are singing
one voice is...

Self Poom - Bro Took an Old Man to the Beach yesterday**
Pleas excuse me, but this poom may have little or nothing to do wit the title**
looking for some love to
look at him (without being
paid to do so),
the camera pans to "oh beautiful
for spacious skies"
fulla carbon rot coming down to
be breathed by children &
us elder-childrens, and Every Body
that our wholly god ever done
created.
I used to be loved.
i used to be respected'
My words used to be listened to.

Alien
it must be this toxic heat or
your delirious presence
that provokes my body to betray its humanity
and disclose its original form
more hastily than the usual
but what is done is done
like how we exasperate the earth
beyond forgiveness
and how you make me want to twist, bend and raise my limbs
towards you in ways incomprehensible and appalling to human eyes
I am brimming with alarming conspiracy...
