What Have We Done?
I’m dying of thirst but I cannot drink,
The waters are poisoned,
What have we done?
I’m famished but can’t eat,
The fruit is all spoiled,
Burned under the sun,
Oh what have we done?
The landscapes once green,
Are all now but a dream,
They have disappeared,
By the industrial machine.
The beautiful clear skies,
That once graced my eyes,
Are cold, dark and grey,
The blue has gone away.
The oceans aren’t clean,
All of its life now it seems,
Has left and vanished,
Never to...

Global Extinction
The fires you start will come back and burn you.
The idiots are in charge and they deny the truth.
Enjoy the sunshine whilst remaining blind to the drought.
We as a species deserve to be dying out, no doubt.
When the waters rise and the lives disappear,
You will turn around and ask to hear,
But it will be too late to make a change.
The end is nigh, if things stay the same.
The sun is nice, until it is not.
The sea’s will rise and the land it will go.
The bats have all died because it is getting too hot.

A signal makes its way from deep space to their monitoring antenna. The message says a ship is on the way with a cargo manifest of robotic construction crews and urban planners. Rochelle’s heart sinks. Also in the message is a plan for the rapid conversion from a communal economy to a free market one. And so a few years down the line a multigenerational ecosystem habitat arrives in orbit around their planet. Jim convenes a council meeting to discuss the implications of these new settlers for their community.

No one is as or more beautiful than her, her picture has to be taken.
So perfect that no one envies her, but she is the topic of most conversations.
There is no mistaking, she`ll take your breath away..
Not just once in a while, but every single day.
Her breath is a spring breeze, just so refreshing.
Her tears are summer rain, always a blessing.
She is one of a kind, her uniqueness cannot be denied.
Her father presented her to man as the perfect bride.
He loved his wife, promised to take care of her, always and forever.
They were made for one...

The clear, undisputed and R.H reasoning for not littering in Barbados (Poem)
By Stanley Collymore
That Cleanliness is next to Godliness is a cultural, spiritual and
hygienic mantra consciously, meticulously and assiduously
embedded in as well as purposely drilled into the psyche
of every one of us Bajans is an incontestable fact that
is beyond disputation. A vocation, so to speak, that
having been realized from birth, is willing carried
out during our growing up years as developing
children and teenagers, conscientiously there
afterwards forms a fundamental element of
our normal lives and established...
