Poems
Jul 2016
Feel My Pain
Chop, hack,
fell, sever
Greedy, vicious
clawed endeavor
Rip, tear,
bite, shred
Snarling metal
teeth I dread
Mother Nature
my employer
Human nature
my destroyer
Synthesizing
life until
They bleed my veins
of chlorophyll
Grant me breath
with each exhale
Seal my fate
with coffin nail
Solar goddess
lifts me higher
Devils light
my funeral pyre
To closed minds
I have no voice
To closed hearts
I have no choice
But roots grow deep
into this earth
Hold firm my trunk's
enduring girth
For I have seen
all creatures rise
And fall
before my sleeping eyes
And I will grow
for eons more
Make green this rock
you can be sure
I am this world
this world is me
I am everything
that's free
So buy and sell
your plots of land
You'll never own
what I command
Ancient wisdom
long renewed
Silent sentry
solitude
A testament
to self's release
A symbol of
organic peace
I've tried to share
our home in vain
You showed me saw mills
of disdain
So let it fall
your acid rain
Watch me wither
in my shame
This cash and burn
you can't sustain
Your deathbed is
all you obtain
A smoggy blanket
of methane
Global warming
your domain
Pollute the skies
with coal mind stain
You'll suffocate
on toxic bane
And then you'll lose
this excess game
And on this day
you'll feel my pain
