Sunlight struggles through the haze
trees drunkenly sway in daze
the air chokes and gasps for breath
red tide beats the drums of death.
Pari Ali
Let us stop this willful destruction,
let us vow to Love, Protect and Cherish.....
for if we do not wake to the vision
our beloved Earth will soon perish.

Toxic Waste
Get up in the Mornin there's an ache in my head
So much pollution that's darkened my room and bed
The water is dry and has a funny taste
Man on the radio talkin bout some kinda waste
Man you is so tired of all this dime and grime
In a brick filled city just wasting our time
Goin to the factory making more of that green goo
Rivers fillin up with somethin that looks strange to
Cars and Trucks pumping out so much dark smoke
Danny only 24 last week had a massive stroke
But still we go on in this life so oblivious
Drinking tainted fluids and food that yesterday would only disgust
O how can we survive the way our great leaders say
There's nothing wrong, but don't go out side and play
Children are getting sicker every day
Yet no one seems to or doesn't want to know just why
O well soon all life will be extinct and everybody will die
The sun is getting hotter in the sky
The Kyoto agreement doesn't even get support can't understand why
There's strange deformities appearing babies all over the land
But that's just a part of life and the study of man
The authorities tell me there is nothing to worry about
So why do I always now feel sick and get Asthma so I cant shout
Don't we care anymore, don't we even think
The authorities may be lying something is starting to really stink
But we just shrug our shoulders and get sick with another bug
Don't believe the lies don't believe the money influenced hype
What are we going to do..When the whole damn world gets covered in poo
Lets talk to someone there must be something we all can do

My Mother Bleeds
Mankind dances
on my mothers wounded skin
gorillas in the mist machine-gunned
victims of furious ants
picking at mothers remains
have her smartest children
learned nothing?
rain forests die...daily
for paper to record
poisoned information
we Peirce her sweet flesh
to mine green paper
brown doe eyes,and eagles
witness the rape
the souls of the extinct
call to us,screaming
can you hear them?
I can! can you?
please?

Progress
The century passes with
ever decreasing slowness,
years drift in and out
showing the changes of time
as an hourglass sifting the sands,
electricity marvels after the
gas of yesteryear, with man walking
planets unreachable before,
engine turbines demote
the horse,
buildings made for shopping
twenty storeys, no longer the man on the corner
with the sugar in tubs or salt in a twist,
microchips (not for eating) are the norm,
fast food junkies now walk the streets
with obesity,
no typewriters now ,computers reign,
walking nowhere,trams have long since gone
replaced with monorails , time races on,
clones,to replace the normal ways of
reproduction, removing the need to pair,
Do we need the isolation, modern though it may be,
the intolerance towards others and the race
to be better than others,
or was it a time long since gone when
we would talk to each other and smile,
perhaps when we leave this mortal earth
we will return century's later from a cylinder,
pronounced re-born having paid our money
to the corporate world.

Winds Of Change
Paths to memory lane
obscured by
Burgeoning outcrops
obliterating the familiar
Hurricanes of progress
sweeping ruthlessly away,
desert, vegetation, wildlife,
singing birds
grazing flocks
shepherd's flute
oceans of vastness.
Victorious concrete marching
occupying the desert
advancing to the sea
blotting out the sky,
The wrecking ball of time
moves on.

poignant plastic
poisonous waste
moisture spills
acrid, acid smog
raindrops weep
feeble trees hunger
and all green stills
into sluicing,
slaying sleep
Brambles and branches
lay dead and gone
artificial
Fountains of future steal
the hours laying dead
Instead of verdant beauty
come the dawn
is the acid rain of poison
the rainstorm fed.

True Beauty
What is true beauty?
Is it the made-up face
Of a woman of culture,
Cultivated through destruction of
Our precious world?
Is it the powerful engine
Of a brand-new SUV,
Driven by a spoiled teenage boy,
And fueled by
The very life-blood of
Our dear mother?
Is it the steel-and-glass shimmer
Of an shopping mall,
Endorsed by those who need not,
And standing, plastic and rigid,
In the place once home to
Our home's creatures?
Or...
Is it the sunlight,
Playing on the diamondelle
Streams, blue and pure,
Glinting in the light from
Sun-dappled forests?
Is it the driven snow,
Holy and virgin,
Blanketing the
Corrupt purity
Of our world in a temporary
Sheet of absolution?
...we may never truly know...

Mother is calling
Our mother trembles in fear
Her heart is breaking inside
The children she holds dear
Are losing touch with her pride
Her young do not stop to think
Or to just pause, look and see
That the water is her blood they drink
And without her they'd never be
Into her blood, poison they seep
And liter her flesh with disgraceful trash
They do not repay what they reap
Her beauty they mar and smash
Her veins are overflowing with death
As rivers run mucked and foul
Her lungs can barely take a breath
So poison air everything must swallow
She can no longer cleanse herself with tears
As acid raindrops are all that is falling
Come and see your mother, open your ears
Can't you hear our mother is calling?

I am ocean, I am sea
I am river, I am ocean , I am sea
Secrets I behold deep down below
I come and go , ebb and tide is what you see
Yet never to reveal all that I know
Gently I embrace so many that have died
I will cradle them through eternity
Ripples small and gigantic waves of pride
My secrets I protect with my ferocity
I am every tear that you have ever wept
And I relish earths every smile
On the nights that you were torn and had not slept
I heard your footsteps on that sandy mile
Myriad colors of the rainbow I reflect
I greet the morning sun and evening moon
So please let me ask you to protect
My crashing sounds and soothing tune
Rivers flow to me polluted by your neglect
I am infinite , but my soul feels death ........all too soon

Do You Remember Me?
i was wondering
do you remember me?
you used to come to me
when you just wanted to talk
i patiently listened
you used to come to me
to have my strong arms hold you
i held you for hours
you used to come to me
when you wanted to swing
i did so tirelessly
you used to come to me
when you wanted to hide
i protected you
so, if i may ask
did you remember me?
when you killed me
for i was only a tree

ROADS
Ribbons of steel, they cut
like a knife.
They slice through the soft
underbelly of life.
Indiscriminate, they spill
sap, and blood.
Unconscious, they raze
forest to mud.
All so we can get somewhere!
In speeding cars, without care
of whose homes are displaced,
or the land that's disgraced!

Unless We Change
No air to breath, not one
deep breath
that's free of accumulating
toxic death!
No water that's pure and safe
to drink
without trace minerals, mercury,
lead, and zinc!
No land kept whole, as nature
intended.
Sold out for profit, and left
undefended.
With wildlife in peril, how
do we fair?
Exploitation, and unwillingness
to share.
Unless we change, the Earth
will wilt,
but it is man, that will die
with guilt.

Dear Mother Earth
As Mothers Day coming round and
the Greatest Mother of all times
Who is known to me is
Dearest Mother Earth
I see how she shows me her love in so many ways
and to speak with me with words
I feel this is what she would say
Dearest Earth Children
I am with you all
Everywhere
Everyday
As you know
There is beauty with flower
There is beauty with tree
There is beauty with sun
There is beauty with moon
There is beauty with land
There is beauty with sea
There is beauty all around you
There is beauty in you all
This beauty can't be taken
This beauty is our World
This beauty can be hidden
This beauty can be blocked
This beauty can be damaged
This beauty can be stopped
Though you all can repair
This beauty that is locked
When you all together dig deeper
To find the hidden lock
You all are keys together
You all share the same heart
So please open wide the gate
Follow the path back home
To find the purest door
within your gentle soul
Like the core of a apple
The beauty in the seed
Then turn the key walk inside
The beauty is what you'll find
Where all your Beauty opens wide
To share around the World
"Keys"
equals
Lock
equals
Love
The Key is the Gift to Love
The Lock is you all with me
As one Love
To My Dearest Earth Children
With Much Love

The Blindness of Man
Understand this my friends,
as we wallow in the mire
of life and struggle for
supremacy in our species,
we allow all manner of
corruption and deceit
to cloud our judgement,
values, which we once held dear
fly from the window when
aroused by fear, and threatened
mayhem appears as Damocles's
sword held aloft,
once in a lifetime there
was a bond between man
and the beast but that has
long since passed,
money now clouds the judgement
with greed in the shadows,
raping of the earth's treasures
causing rivers to stop, crops
to fail and people to starve
are all part of the package of greed,
even the birds in the air stifle in
contamination created by the greed
of man unknowing that this
greed will eventually destroy
all that we hold dear,
so once again I plead
Understand this my friends..

Greenhouse Effect and our Planet Earth
My understanding of greenhouse effect as a layman)
Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and warms the earth's surface
Atmospheric gases absorb some of the heat and reflect
Heat rising from the surface warms the atmosphere
This warming process is called the greenhouse effect
By increasing some of these heat-trapping gases
We intensify the natural greenhouse effect
Additional reflected heat further warms the atmosphere
This is not an assumption but a proven fact
~~~~~~~~~~
(Let's save our planet from destruction)
Let's put our planet to right
It's never too late
Let's use energy efficiently
And recycle our waste
Don't destroy pristine forests for mahogany
CFC's should be completely banned
Employ solar energy to power our certain needs
Educate ignorants so they acknowledge the problem and understand
Our determination can save Antarctica from catastrophe
Eventually raging sea will calm down and subside
We can save our planet from destruction, if we all work as one tribe
We should make firm rules and must abide
~~~~~~~~~~

Let's Preserve Our Planet
Y2K bug was a temporary scare,
the real destruction's yet to come, beware!
it's gradually brewing to destroy the human race,
invisible in the air no one can trace,
the ones to blame are none but us,
great inventions proving disastrous,
wish I could cast a magic spell,
that could past mistakes dispel.
~~~~~~~
What is done is done,
to put it right is the duty of every one,
let's stop using the foul technology for our fun,
use the nature gifted resources one by one,
utilise the solar energy to power our needs,
revert to grow naturally in the fields,
don't destroy the forests for mahogany wood,
recycle the dump that's what we should,
~~~~~~~
I still feel we can put our Planet to right,
if we make the rules and abide,
we can push the smog aside,
sooner the clean air will sooth us inside,
there will be no acid rain pouring,
thus will preserve the surroundings in glory,
it can be achieved, if the whole world work as one tribe,
simple living is the key, which will guide.
