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

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?

Open cast Mining
This earth moving machinery
rattles and clangs through its rude day,
scraping away ancient scenery
and my childhood along the way
exposing coal under the clay.
The drone behind this high pitched whine
indifferent to the changes wrought
worms and casts aside my past times
for preciousness its master sought,
which drifts like smoke away to nought.
This droning drags on through the years
the desolation is complete
and fruitless now the ground sprouts tears
watching the spread of new concrete
to hide the black that...

Currently blocking
The sewage overflow
That lead
Through the middle of
The Houses
(of Parliament)
Where most of the shit
Resides

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

What Will They Think Of Us?
What will they think of us when they read about us?
About the wars we engaged in over governments and creeds
Or the lies we’re told in the auspices of things to come
When we lost our humanity under pretentious greed
Will they weep for us when they study our history?
When we destroyed Mother Earth to live beyond our means
Because one day she will rise against us and take it back
And upon our ruins a new society will realize their dreams
When will we ever learn the true meaning of harmony?
That the original particle still runs in you as...

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 ...

A Southern Water Christmas Carol
I saw three shits come sailing in
On Christmas day
On Christmas day
I saw three shits come sailing in
On..............
Enough about Southern Water
Think i'll leave it until
Boxing Day
(In the morning!)
