Great oceans moulting
Lost weight of life giving grace
Scales of dead fishes
Tell yourself to breathe
as the stratosphere is falling,
imagining verses tumbling
midst downpours' dissension,
sans sentimentality's
         loquacious language,
and the land is left barren
    as verbosity disintegrates
and emotions wholly perish
    'neath fickle cloudbursts
               of poetry's extinction

rust and ichor

veins are lacerations
and ruptured
seams

no idyllic countryside
sinkholes and lava
from the skin
to the bone marrow
from the ribcage
to the deepest
HEART


the earth is bleeding
edged with scarlet
a septic wound

her nature spasming with
her groaning
whales die from their
weeping
sea life washed ashore
in their hundreds
of thouands
birds fall from the sky
white doves become
black as ravens
oily and ravenous
mass extinction
honey bees
will be
no
more
to
pollinate
anything

the earth is bleeding
war's bitter wine
seeps from every pore
of mankind

hatred the cup of
the world
the grail to be drunk
deeply
til tomorrow is
sated and
there is no longer
any blood
to
be

spilled**

I've been off site

A friend does research on the
animal die offs and the other
plights of our planet

Only my faith in the Lord
keeps me from being extremely depressed

The fact is that we will never be able
to heal what we have done to
this planet. Wars are escalating.

Is there anything that can be done?
Well. I have a suggestion.

PRAY.

From it You came,
And because of it You live,
It awarded You Your existence,
And proceeds to give.

Invites You in its arms,
Is welcoming and warm.
Provides You with abundance,
Everyday offering more.

And what do You give back?
Besides tearing everything down
To utmost obliteration
Leaving an open wound.

You don’t stop to notice,
You preserve less and less,
And the weaker links
Are near the extinction process.

You continue the demolition,
For the „greater good“ You say,
Wiping out what’s left,
Until nothing feels the same.

I warn You, there will be a day
You won't be opening Your eyes.
There is a rule You can not change-
Without the greenery Everything dies.
Poetic T May 2015
Humanity swims upstream,
Like a nurturing moment.

Ever wanting to be more, but
Finding the struggle hard.

Seeding the streams of life,
With those that sank below.

But we swim, and keep on
Up the stream to find our goal.

The waters become calmer as
We are now within our moment.

We were many but some welcomed
The quiet and peace that came.

We were humanity swimming,
always fighting going upstream.

But with all journeys some unexpected
Happenings come around the bend.

As we swam never seeing what was
Ahead, humanities enviable end.

We had submerged ourselves, but it
Was our time to now fall.

Screams were heard in the distance,
But we swam over the edge of life.

The waterfall of extinction had come,
And we fell, all to the silence below.

You can not stop
this sop of ****
that skits and flits
like it's fit for a king;
so sing and cling
to the lovers used,
the lovers abused
like so many friends
flung from the wide window,
open often
so stagnant
breath births
its escape,
ever expanding
through the
cavernous crescendo
of
notes knowing nothing
of
what waits with
spirit spitting
with disgusted regret,
remaining only to
bludgeon bodies
into the
proper place of standing
for the incredible flowing
stream of sin and shame,
calling like canyons
that only once
knew not of this void;
vacant of a life littered with
broken bones and battles
fought for the ferocious folly
of some unintended dream,
dead to the sunken savior
of a rotted reign, remaining
only to rake away the
skin of kin,
craning the neck,
nervous of ineptitude,
altitude, always
floundering flashes of
generations generating gasping
throats, thickened with the thistles of
a thousand thirsty stars,
straining the flaying
reels of reasoned reality,
gleening grateful glances
from a lance's prance;
peel partial proof from the roof
of remorseful restrictions that
hold the whole of heaven
and fall with a
hurried fury of long lashes,
it only thrashes, the
insomnomania cranium crushed
under the overwhelming
hammer head
which bled the
fantastic fragrant fallacies,
fading first and fast;
for the
welded wheels wither
what once the
wind wavered and savored,
sealing that turning tomb,
rotating 'round the
invested inferno,
invigorated by the
indestructible work of a genius,
and riddled by the
carried chaos
of something
that never was
in the first place.

We march
Withering white
All seas to dust

The ground caves in
The earth grows hollow

Ribs through the skin
Teeth through the lips
Breath catching black

We march
In a ceaseless beat
To the rhythm of dead machines
Over cracked roads
And empty homes

people can accidentally send you pictures
with the love of your life,  living without you
and not think anything of it- what a miracle
Pax Oct 2013
Trapped in the glass
Food for your tray
I am the water that filled your thirsty soul

You're just a starve being who hungers for more
Can’t you see, I am slowly dying
My children is declining
Pollutant is destroying my beauty
day by day
I wonder if you care

I hope many of you understand
That my rage goes out of hand
That’s just how I am
Nature’s call in changes
Of the climate
and more often of what you’ve done

In time you’ll see how important I am
How you’ve lost a part of me
That cares for you
I am not selfish
All my blessings is free for the taking
But it is never yours alone

You outnumbered my children
To the point that you hunted them to extinction

You polluted my shores
To the point that I lost my blissful purity

You poisons each other's soul
To the point that I have taken the destructive consequences

Some things are hard to learn
But that doesn’t mean you’ll repeat the same mistakes
over and over again
as if it’s a good thing
it never was and never will be

I am dying, how I wish you care
