As Is.....
The pandemic is still lurking
An anagram of moronic-Omicron
Is soon to be joined by monkey pox
Another sickness, to tick another box
Climate change is worsening
Not enough done to counter this
Short term profits, are the order of the day
As the planet falls into further disarray
Wars an excuse for genocide
Are rife around the world
Power hungry psychotic world leaders
Responsible for this mass of dying bleeders
I cant see the woods for the trees
Brcause they've all been chopped down
Now just open...

Black As Coal
A triad
Of terrocotta chimney pots
Stood poised
Like a smoke breathing Cerberus
Feigning
As if to swoop down
Into the early grey of night
And pounce upon it's prey
Talons tearing
But they remain still
As puffs of dark grey
Invade the darkening sky
And ashen clouds
The night closes in
As the terrocotta chimney pots
Like ghosts
Slowly immersed
Into the beckoning shadows
As the grey
Turns black as coal

The seagulls
Are in mourning again
The seas weep
As the planet bleeds
I can
No longer
Comprehend
The Insanity
Of man

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...

Rock, And Roll Is Dead
Geology
The first rock, and roll
Mossy stones
That lie dormant
Possessing fossils
Locked within a frozen groove
Now
We mostly have
Bricks, and mortar
Manmade control
No longer rock, and roll
Concrete jungles
Seems to be the way ahead
As mother nature
Now within reach
Of the land of the dead
Mankind conquered
The natural world
Not comprehending the damage
That has begun to unfurl
Humanity as yet
To fully appreciate
As we grow our harvests
Biting the hand
That feeds us....... ...

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 ...

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
Famine & Poverty will never end

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

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